Masterwork

is a term that denotes the inherit, exceptional quality of an item. This usually makes that item very rare.
== Weapons ==
Weapons can have up to 3 ranks of Masterwork. Each rank raises the skill ceiling for that weapon's associated combat skill (Melee or Ranged) by 2 points.
=== Obtaining ===
Masterwork weapons are typically only obtained during Character Creation for Background Points. A well-off adventurer probably has Masterwork +1 weapon outright. Masterwork +3 is generally going to cost around one BP.
== Tools ==
Masterwork tools aid in a relevant skill by giving it +3. This bonus require six ranks in the relevant skill.
== Version 1 ==
In version 1, a weapon being "Masterwork" gives it a flat bonus to Base Attack Bonus (maximum of +3).
