The Rifter#10: The Weapon Mage OCC

Hey All,

I have a quick question regarding the Weapon Mage O.C.C.; in the equipment section it states that they can start with a magical weapon. For stats you can use the magical weapons (enchanted weapons) found in Heroes Unlimited. My question is which abilities do they gain from the weapon? I am assuming all of the base bonuses then they can select 1-5 powers from the Powers Held by Weapons of Order section. I was curious how others would tackle this conundrum.

Cheers
K

I say yes, choose a predetermined number of powers/abilities from those available or roll 1D4+1

Since the class doesn't actually have an alignment restriction, and the object (it doesn't have to be a weapon) is forged by the character's master for them, I'd say that the sky is the limit. It gets the full complement of abilities and powers as described in Heroes Unlimited and can be either chaos or order based, if the player chooses to take a weapon.

Thanks for weighing in on the subject Bill & mercedogre! It's much appreciated. I am glad that we are on the same page as my original choice was going to be pretty much what you both mentioned. Although I will have the player roll 1d4+1 to see how many "additional" powers it gets.
