More Items of Power

Yeah. If there's no melee-enhancing Power, you're much better off firing the gun than swinging it. Even at an opponent who's within reach.
--- Quote from: Mr. Death on August 12, 2019, 03:24:04 AM ---I feel like being able to just point at a thing and declare, "I'm getting through whatever toughness power he has, without needing to find out what his catch is," is worth refresh.

Oh, so the user gets to pick the target?
Then yeah, it should cost a fair bit. I was thinking that the designated target was pre-set by you.

As I understand it IRL, he clocked people over the head as opposed to shooting and killing them. Like, in the movie, after Curly Bill kills the sheriff, Wyatt comes up behind him and KOs him in one shot.
Maybe a stress booster if you pistol whip someone from ambush?

Yeah. Maybe something like Righteousness, where you can make some kind of vow of vengeance against someone, and as a result any attacks against them are Weapon:5 instead of Weapon:3?
I kinda like that one, gives it a boost against purely mortal opponents, too. -1 refresh?

Could work.
Rather narrow, though, so you'd want the bonus to be hefty.

Sure, sounds good to me. Roughly stunt-equivalent.

Maybe a +3? That brings the weapon rating up to 4, enough for a Taken Out to most humans.

Cool.
How's this for wording?
[-1] “Justice is Coming”: Both men and supernatural creatures learned to fear the vengeance of Wyatt Earp. You can declare one creature as the object of your vengeance, until either you take out that creature, or you declare vengeance on something else. Guns attacks with Earp’s Colt against that creature are Weapon:5.

This runs the chance of being overly broad. A player could declare vengeance on any character that is convenient and switch whenever they feel like it by this wording.
