Looking for a clarification from the masses. The way the Contra Mastery vs all weapons ability is worded is "From Counter Mastery and contra mastery vs 3 weapons, now gains Contra mastery vs all weapons."

Does this mean a combination of any 3 counter and contra masteries is required to buy this ability or does it mean you need 3 counter masteries AND 3 contra masteries before you can buy it?

Also when you buy one of these against say swords, does it cover swords of all lengths or does the length need clarifying?

You can only buy counter mastery once as it applies to what you are using - you then need three contra masteries.

So if ou use a broad sword - counter broadsword
Then contra - bastard sword, bastard mace and hand mace

Then contra all weapons

What about if you use a sword sometimes and a mace other times. Can you not buy Counter Mastery Twice?

Then the other contras?

Nope, standardly you can only buy Counter Mastery once.

And I think, I'd have to check, that Contra Mastery requires you to be using the same specific weapon you buy it in.

So you use a Broadsword to benefit from the Counter and Contra Masteries, change weapon and you use the benefit.

I think it depends where your brackets are...

From "Counter Mastery and contra mastery" vs 3 weapons, now gains Contra mastery vs all weapons

= counter mastery and 2 contras required

From Counter Mastery and "contra mastery vs 3 weapons", now gains Contra mastery vs all weapons

= counter mastery and 3 contras required

I'm pretty sure its meant to be 1 Counter Mastery and 3 Contra Masteries.

It's only worded in that slightly confusing way because by default you can only buy one 1 Counter Mastery.

I concur, Counter and 3x Contra as the prereq for Contra all weapons.

Cool... I have Counter Broadsword and Contra Mace so need two more.

With a Max AC of 12 Counter of -6 or contra of -3, how do characters get more Damage reduction if you can only use one damage reduction ata time?

You can have 3 different damage reductions applying at once

1 numerical e.g 6pts Counter Mastery Broad Sword
1 percentile e.g. 25% Cold Rage
1 fractional e.g. 1/3 off weapon blows from Titan

There are now plenty of published ones with the Warrior, Races & Classes now available.
