So I have an Adept in 4th edition and there are a few thing that I have ran into that that I can't seem to answer.
Issue 1: Crazy Language issue
This deals with the combination of the qualities Analytical Mind, Linguistics, and the adept power of Linguistics. I figure the quility drops the time to learn a language from exposore with the adept power in half, and then modifies the rating by +2. Is this an actual rating bonus of +2 (meaning to raise it I buy it at 4) or is it a dice pool modifier (meaning the next level I buy it at 2). Also does Analytical Mind come into play when you roll to learn the language?
How does learning a spoken code play out? Currently my group is watching a few groups that speak in code using Spanish as the base. My character learned Spanish with the adept power and the Quality, though I am unsure how to handle the learning the coded transmissions from them. I was originally thinking it was a language role with the +2 dice for Analytical Mind, though another player thinks it is the same thing as learning a language and defiantly with the +2 for Analytical Mind.
Issue 2: Dual Wielding Melee weapons
I haven't had to use this yet and honestly I have no idea how this all plays out. He dual wields kodachi (Short Swords) and has improved Blades of 2 and personalized handles on each. His agility is 5 and his base blades is 4. I know that he gets 1 die for the first attack and 2 for the second as a bonus for dual wielding melee weapons.
So with that is the Dice pool I am splitting 9 or 11.
Also what does the defender have since melee combat is an open test going to the winner, or am I thinking 3rd and need to reread the 4th edition melee roles?
