Yeah it makes the Psi-sword semi-useful.

I used to say that Rifts had a disease called 'Cyberknightis'...

A bizarre affliction where you believe the psi sword is useful...

Usually cured by actually playing one for a while.

I guess you've missed the thread on the 14d6 x2 wielding cyber-knights.

Melee weapons are good if they do slightly more damage than the ranges weapons in a given encounter. At that point it makes sense for a character to close the distance and take away an enemies ranged advantage. Of course, thats pointless against a number of opponents for various reasons, but its still a nice option.

As for psi-swords, provided they go up in power as time goes on, they can be helpful.

Ranged weapons > melee weapons
A pile of steaming dung > psi-sword
