Well, the established rules are one thing. The point is there is no official "AP Increase" Mod for TW gear, so we're in uncharted territory.RFT wrote:@Freemage
I think it is a quirk of the power jump of Savage Rifts. I agree completely that AP is effectively damage, but I would not want to make a blanket fundamental change like this as it would affect so many other characters.
As an aside I once proposed all Armor and Armor Piercing values in Savage Rifts be reduced by half so that everything would be compatible with other Savage Worlds products. But my players felt that was taking too much away from their characters.
I must've missed those. Seriously, I try to bring this point up anytime I see an AP increase TW Mod, because Savage Rifts is such a different beast on this subject.Lars wrote:Previous items approved have had +2 AP as minor (not that I am arguing, just where I got it from).
Well, Trappings are, by definition, Minor TW Upgrades in their own right. And they don't stack (though you can choose to 'toggle' them, if you put more than one on--I did this as an exercise for a TW Vehicular laser, actually).The blade is supposed to be ghost like...thus the AP. Only other idea I had was instead of AP doing a trapping that bypassed armor if activated like the Mystic Trapping.
If the two AP were changed to something else minor is there a way to add the Trapping: Soul Blast (pg 40 TLPG) or a similar trapping?
