ITMs and Weapon Style bonuses

[Luke]

Is there a way to set a certain .ITM so that, when equipped, it ignores pips in Single/Two-Handed weapon styles?

Unfortunately, I cannot use opcode #233 because it cannot set those proficiencies to 0 if the current CRE has already spent some pips in them......

You can use 177 x2 to apply 2 EFFs with timing mode 2... eff1 reduces SWS by 1 pip, eff2 reduces it by 2 pips. 

Now apply a 318 effect against eff1 if SWS=0; and other 318 effect against eff1 if SWS>1; and another 318 effect against eff2 if SWS<2. 

Make sure the 318s get applied begire the 177s. Call your uncle Robert. Don't explain when he gets confused.

Thanks! Guess I also need to set type to 1 (offset 0x90 in the EFF) and provide a parent resource (offset 0x94 in the EFF), right?

Sorry, yeah, I didn't mention that part.

Do you know if weapon category 28 (offset 0x001c, Hand-to-hand weapon) is supposed to ignore a character's weapon proficiencies (including weapon style proficiencies)?

The Magical Weapon Slot ignores two-weapon style proficiency, regardless of weapon category.

The fist slot ignores two-handed style, single-weapon style, and sword and shield style proficiency, regardless of weapon category. (Some of the bonuses do show up in the record/inventory screen, but are not used.)

AFAIK category 28 didn't itself ignore weapon or style proficiency.
