Melee Weapon Templates (GMH; Genesys)

Melee templates are designed to allow a player to create the type of weapon they want for their character to use. When a character is acquiring a melee weapon they can either purchase a standard weapon (see above) or a specialised melee weapon by applying a melee weapon template. A PC nominates which template they’re applying to what weapon, and then factor in the Encumbrance modifier, cost multiplier, and rarity increase. A standard melee weapon can only ever have one template applied to it. Furthermore, weapon templates are permanent - Melee templates aren’t attachments or modifications as such, but rather a tool for the players to try and find that one perfect melee weapon which suits them best.
