Clint says: Fortune & Glory allows some options Hero's Journey doesn't. The character could take a TW weapon, but of course, walking around with a Battle Fury Blade makes that beginning character a target of some very powerful people (as well as a lot of desperate ones too).This was asked in the old forums (by Radecliff) but I didn't see an answer and I have a follow-up to it.
"On a result of one on the F&G table the player is allowed to select any melee or ranged weapon personal weapon. Is this to include any TW weapon? I ask because the similar result on the Hero's Journey Melee Weapons table exclude TW weapons and there are some really powerful melee weapons such as the Battle Fury Blade which seems a bit overkill for a beginning character."
Clint says: Yep.Follow-up: For The Hero's Journey Body Armor table (result 1) and the Ranged Weapons table (result), can that include TW items?
Clint says: Yep.And I suppose the Merc Soldier and Power Armor Soldier M.A.R.S. frameworks also get a choice of weapon(s) as well. Could those be TW items?
Keep in mind, the "M.A.R.S. hero can have all kinds of useful gear," so it's part of their build, but what isn't part is choosing an expensive piece of gear then trying to sell it in game for its value to buy other stuff. The choices of the M.A.R.S. hero are about gear that's as integral to their character as their innate abilities. The GM can always veto any choice made for purely "munchkin" reasons as something that "doesn’t make sense for a character" since such a choice is in no way about the character.
Hope that helps.[/end Clint]
