In a WYTIWYG sense, allowing weapons to do full damage to a spirit does make
sense- If I am carring a staff instead of a sap, I am showing serious intent
to really bludgion someone- A more intemidatind weapon should do more damage,
I think. Also, If i yank out a monowhip instead of a knife, I'm drawing more
attention to my self (well, at least in our campaign, a monowhip turns heads).
Again, there is emotional impact and intent, coupled with the fact that your
breaking the law big time.
just a thought, if you felt guilty letting samuraia beat spirits- think what
a samuries intentions look like on the astral plane.
