I find a 3 point deviation in the positive way for using it (Mapped weapons up to 6fp/2sk and differences between Laser-Blazer Broadsword and and Black Magic with the help of AD and N_V).
Seriously some of the best results and weapons I have kept up to level 6 are the Battle Blades.

As if having high strength eventually comes to supersede weaponry, like with the Black Belt/Master from Final Fantasy 1, who did massive damage with bare hands as compared to weapons.
I've got an autobot with a strength of 10... and a firepower of 2. He's hitting hard with punches and kicks (though it's been hard to determine that because he's more likely to ram... or repair an ally). Will he be continuing to do more damage with bare hands than with a weapon, or can I benefit from upping his firepower and/or skill and equipping a better weapon accordingly?
Archone wrote:Yes, but that doesn't answer the base question. Does having high strength augment the damage done with weapons? His strength is 10 and his firepower is 2, and I can augment firepower or skill up higher. But... will he do more damage with a weapon than without? Is it like, say... melee weapons in 4th edition Shadowrun, where a sword does (Strength/2 + 3) damage, or is it more like the guns, where a heavy pistol does 5 damage period? That's my question: does high strength augment weaponry, or will he do more damage with bare hands?
Archone wrote:Ah. Usually... so are the exceptions the melee weapons? I.e. high strength won't help a laser rifle, but will help a sword?
Archone wrote:Ah. Okay, thanks. You've been very helpful

Burn:Anyone notice how much of a boring party pooper N_V is? He doesn't join in the fun, he's spent the last few years with dodgy builds feeding XP to the Autobots, and he sure as heck doesn't spam.
