Ironworks Gaming Forum - View Single Post - Total Newbie Q - Points to Allocate for Weapon Specialisation

Hayashi · 03-25-2001, 03:08 AM

I have a question regarding points allocated for weapons skills specialisation. Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that to avoid any penalty when using a given weapon, points must be alloted to both the weapon type AND the fighting style as well.
E.g. if I want to avoid any penalty usign a long sword I need to allocate at least one point to long swords and at least another point to single weapon style and sword and shield style.
Have I understood the rules/manual correctly? If so would it be better to spread the points across weapon types or across fighting styles?
No spoilers, please. Thank you.
