For one thing the swords are not bonded. The only thing they do
is allow me to attack spirits using my armed combat skill rather than my
willpower. Considering the number of insect spirits and toxic spirits, and
let us not forget the toxic insect totems the GM's throw at us this is not
a great boon to the character. The do not act at all like weapon foci except
in that respect. So my character uses his Karma to build on to one skill.
My Sword skill is a 10 my armed combat is only a 5. My combat pool allows me
to throw 20 dice at once because it is an eleven. It's not like I have ever
used any of my combat pool for attack I save it for defense.
Heaven forbid we bring up a certain magically active sasquachian
wolf shaman with a +4 combat focus that probably gives him similar attacks.
Not to mention having a reach of 3.
How about the vampiric mage in the same party with him that has
enough karma in him to kill a snake. He has never had an essence below a
10 that I have ever seen.
Enough said?
