Hey I'm working on my character and I was trying to put together a list of blades and I had a few questions

What are all the possible upgrades for melee (blade) weapons? I know of mono and lathe (fire pack to but that seems weird to me), is there anything else? It feels like that its only those two options.

And concerning power Swords & Blades, if you turn off the power on them I know they can be used as normal melee weapons but what does the damage and pen become?

Unless I missed something, they're the only upgrades that can be given to melee weapons

You can turn off the power field and use them as a primitive weapon of what they are, reducing the damage and penetration to that of their basic weapon (ie before the power field bonuses)

You can put an Exterminator on a melee weapon.

Yea but what about a power blade? I know a power sword becomes a normal sword. but i dont remember seeing a "blade" in the book. does it become a knife? or just a 1d10 0pen weapon?

Compare differences between power sword and regular and use that as a baseline for downgrading power weapons without their power supply?
