I generally like the new system, though there's some perks from the old system that I will miss. But as long as Heph can still put down some bluepills and take on Agents, all is well.
I want to pose a question. Do Gunners have any martial arts skill? I was contemplating giving Klez the knives path for instances when he runs into 'Lack of ammo and/or guns' issues.
I gto a question: I have both the Jade Emperor power and the Swooping Eagle. now if I get my bonus on the JE my opponent is Staggered, now by SE I get +1 on my pool to attack a Staggered Opponent.
So is it possible to combine the two?

Question, Ush. The encumbrance level for knives is set to 0, which should technically make the amount of knives one can carry very large indeed. Is there a limit to the number of knives you can have on your person?

Well Ush said that increases to the same category aren't cumulative, so using Scales' +1 to the attack pool wouldn't add to Swooping Eagle's +1 to the same for a +2 to the pool while attacking a staggered opponent (as I understand it).
However, I don't think there's any reason you can't use the first effect of one and the second of the other in conjunction.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Ush.

Ah, yes, some things might not be entirely clear, for which I apologise.
Swooping Eagle actually increases the bonus for attacking 'disadvantaged' opponents, rather than just being a pool add, so it does combine.
To clarify- it is only powers which don't stack. Obviously you still get, for example, the normal +2 bonus for attacking a Staggered opponent even if you are using Hands of Light tpo get a +4 bonus.
Swooping Eagle simply turns that +2 Staggered bonus into +3 instead.
I shall re-write the power to be clear.

Incidentally, along with skills (mainly on the issue of them combining if you get them from different sources), currently being examined is a possible underpowering of Hackers, and overpowering of Storm Turtle.
