Editing Mano a Mano:Manufacturing and Modification (section)

===Modify Weapon Example===

'''1. Design the Modified Weapon'''

Steven decides to alter the shape of his machete to give it more power. Adding 2 power to the machete would add 20 to the weapon's CP value:

{| style="text-align:center"
! align="left" | Item Name        !! &nbsp;CP&nbsp; !!  Mass  !! Heft !! Power !! Features 
|-
| align="left" | machete (before) ||       61       || 0.5 kg ||   3  || 5 || sharp
|-
| align="left" | machete (after)  ||       81       || 0.5 kg ||   3  || 7 || sharp
|}

'''2. Find the Maximum CP'''

We start with Steven's +2 Craftsmanship modifier. We subtract to this because Steven is taking a dayto modify the machete, so that his maximum CP is now 1.  We add 1 because his culture specializes in making machetes, so that his maximum CP is now 2.  We multiply his maximum CP by 50 because Steven is in a culture that has "ancient" technology, so that the maximum CP is 100.

'''3. Compare Maximum CP to the CP of the Designed Weapon'''

Since the maximum CP (100) is equal to or greater than the modified machete's CP (91), Steven is able to modify the machete.
