The Same Power?

So how would you stat out an indestructable weapon/piece of gear?

I guess i could just say, "It cant be broken" and not worry about adding Durability D12 to it. Cap's shield could be special in that it is made to suck up damage.

is "Very Tough" D12 Durability, or is it "Watcher says that it is unbreakable"?

Oh, I'm not saying that it is "wrong" to have a stat double statted. I just think a creator might question if it is necessary.

But since you asked...

Yeah, I wouldn't add Durability to a weapon or gear unless I intended the item to be useful in protecting the character from damage.

As you said Chaosnet, Cap's shield is specifically used for blocking attacks. That makes Durability an integral part of the concept to me.

But something that is mainly meant to be a weapon, I don't see the need for the Durability trait off the top of my head.

To me, it's just a matter of item concept.

If I saw myself parrying with the weapon all the time as a major part of my characer, then maybe that Durability moves back into the power.

It's just a matter of preference and vision.

No right or wrong.

The example I used my friend's hero has wall-crawling and his pet also has wall-crawling at a lower level. Both are spider-like characters. I doubt he would ever find a way to roll both power traits in the same pool but now we have the Cpt. America example to make things clearer (and I believe both Thor's hammer and his own asgardian power set will pretty much be the same situation).
