I'm trying to learn the GORE rules, but I'm having trouble understanding what was intended by the Hand Weapon skill or by the Weapon Groups.
From reading the Hand Weapon skill, it seems that each weapon has its own base skill. Then there is a column under the weapon table for the weapon group, is this meant as a speciallized skill for the weapon? (e.g. You would need the Hand Weapon (G) skill to weild the G-group weapons)
I'm very confused. I'm tempted to just throw out the Hand Weapon skill altogether and just use the base skill off the weapons. But then I see that some weapons have a base skill of only 1! Clearly I'm missing something.
Any help would be great.
Thank you,
