I've had three judges look at the same thing three different ways now so I think some clarification would be good.
The general gist of the idea is to modify the portion of technology templates in the resistances section. Currently there is an item listed as kinetics. I've had one judge tell me that blades come under Kinetics. I've had another approve a submittal of mine where I put blades separate. Now I've had one have me make a second line item and split it into Kinetics(Blunt) and Kinetics(Pierce).
Strictly speaking, kinetics would generally only refer to the former. There's also the fact that some things which are good against blunt damage aren't against piercing and vice versa (though some things are good at both).
So why are we lumping the two together and being inconsistent on it? Why don't we do what most Tabletops do and list them as Blunt and Pierce? Seems like people would understand that a lot easier. Not everyone on Chaos has a background that favors the sciences.
Figured I'd put this here instead of in Templates since it's not a board wide think and the factory is technically optional.
