The scale in the main book says this for hardness...
Hardness(Break or Smash): Use Strength. GM may also add resistance as desired.
To me, this means that the option under MoKF means that you are meant to sub your Mastery for Strength on that hardness scale. Do you disagree? If it doesn't, I really have no idea what its referring to and am completely lost.

If it doesn't, I really have no idea what its referring to and am completely lost. Well for starters, my base assumption is that the Spidey Guide, like the official MURPG stuff, is very poorly written by people who didn't think for more than 2 or 3 seconds before jotting something down and then never revisiting it to see if it made sense 8) My recommendation is to use (or not) any given rule only in so much as it makes some sort of sense and is balanced against other available options in the perception of yourself and the other players in the group you play with. What was "meant" by the original designers is rarely a relevant concern for me. |

What scale do you recommend using in this case then?

What scale do you recommend using in this case then? With a normal mastery, you can buy the option to substitute the Mastery for an Ability for +1CL (via the RAW) if I'm not mistaken. Why are the +1CL "substitute" options so limited for Kung Fu? Why are they "only for defense" and "only for breaking objects"? If you insist on sticking with these poorly written rules (personally I think Mastery of Kung Fu is broken as it stands, and generally don't allow anything from the Spidey Guide at all), then your interpretation of using the Mastery AN to compare against Hardness is probably the most useful interpretation. |
