(TFT) What does +1 mean... exactally?!?

["Jay Carlisle" <Maou_Tsaou@charter.net>]

Just what is going on with magical weapons?
Finely made needs a think too.

Like so.

+1's are given to DX (1 second / Figure DX) or damage for "balance" or 
"craftsmanship" to "a sword, pole arm, hammer, mace, or ax (but no other 
weapon)".

Ughhhh.

I don't care for this.

It's a poorly shared imaginative concept that is covered up in most 
situations by the "general use" of the mechanic/rule/s.
In other words, a player may feel their +1 dam sword gets its extra damage 
from an enhanced ability to hold an ultra sharp edge while the GM may feel 
the thing works differently.
It's a poor time for the player to find out the GM's actual perceptions of 
the +1 on the sword when the player is trying to use the blades sharpness 
creatively.
Assuming the Figure is a hero who is familiar with the finely made sword, 
like using it for years, finding out that the GM had some other idea about 
why the thing gets its plus is a real 'bubble buster' imaginatively 
speaking.

I don't wanna talk about that right now.
Right now I wanna talk about right now.
I'll be back in a bit.
