:This brings up more things I was thinking of today. I've already answered
:these questions in my own mind, but I'd like to bounce them off the list
:anyways.
:
:1) How does the skill benefit of a weapon focus interact with using an
:Armed Combat activesofts?

Using activesofts replaces your skill. The focus adds to your skill.
Mathamatically, "replace a with b" and "add x to b" means a is
unaffected.
What I'm getting at- skillsoft users get no benefit from a weapon focus,
except maybe the abilty to wack spirits and other INW nasties.

:2) On a similar thread, how would a physad/adept's "increase armed combat"
:ability interact with the use of activesofts?

The power adds addtional dice to the use of a skill. Since use of
Skillsofts means you don't use your skill (you use the chips skill), the two
are not at all compatable, I'd say.
