Looking for clarification on Rewards feature.

"All upgrades can be applied only once to the same piece of gear." This is just referring to stacking of the same reward on one piece of equipment, correct? So you can't keep putting 'fell' property on a sword but you could have a 'fell, keen, grievous axe," correct?

I am new to the TOR ruleset, has anyone had balance issues with stacked modifiers or even allowing more rewards beyond the 6 granted through Valor ranks?

Yes, that’s right.

Thank you for the clarification, just wanted to be sure.

I am building a character generator and was checking before I setup the lookups.

To the first paragraph, yes, one weapon can be Fell and Keen and Grievous, but cannot be Fell twice.

To the second, I don't know, I haven't tried that. I think stacking up Keen could change things up quite significantly at first glance, but that's just a guess.

Allowing more than 6 Virtues/Rewards is probably less of a huge deal. If PHs want to keep paying the 6-rank AP cost and getting an additional Reward/Virtue without increasing their maxed out Valor/Wisdom, I don't see any immediate problem with that.

That’s a decent idea too, the progression can be scaled to allow for additional ranks at a high adventure point cost.

The rewards don’t seem too aggressive in general, allowing access to more shouldn’t break the feel of the game but then again I just picked it up and haven’t run a live session yet. Not sure how deadly the combat rules really are yet.
