[split] Desco Stuff

[Takanomiya Hijiri]

I think the problem Desco has is that there is no IC explanation in the rules as to why an incidental weapon can be used at full strength by a secondary in your personal storyline... yet as soon as you engage another prime in combat, that weapon becomes useless...

Obviously we all know that that's what happens, since that is necessary from a balance perspective so as not to allow players to game the system by throwing random NPCs at their opponent until they win, that bit is clear enough... the problem is how to go about writing this without it sounding like utter trash...

Without some specific explanation as to how it was suddenly possible, it would seem so dumb if your character went from being terrified of a rocket-launching secondary in your storyline to casually batting their rockets out of the air and walking through their explosions like it was nothing during a fight with another prime... although you are entirely within your rights to do so, according to the rules.

Would it be possible to have something added to the relevant rules page to give an IC explanation as to why incidental weapons suddenly lose their effectiveness during fights between primes?
It wouldn't have to make sense any more than the bit about the passage of time being slowed by dramatic events does... but for those of us who like writing (somewhat) believable interactions in our stories, a proper IC reason for why this happens would be really nice.
