Re demonstrating Weaponskill in the tavern - it's not a combat, so there's no issue with the +2CS weaponskill bonus. I think we can assume that having weaponskill does give a kai lord "skills of speed and balance" no matter which weapon he has (just not a +2CS bonus) - there's precedent for this in The Chasm of Doom, when you get to use a bow if you have weaponskill. I can't see how a player wouldn't have a weapon at this stage in the book, so a footnote about one is probably overkill, even if strictly correct. -- On Tue 12/04/11 12:37 AM , Jonathan Blake jonathan.blake@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx sent: On Sun, Apr 10, 2011 at 2:07 PM, Simon Osborne wrote: > ====================================== > > (ft) 02fotw 160: [jc: You should choose to demonstrate Weaponskill > discipline only if you possess the appropriate weapon. ] > > > Simon: This seems reasonable to me. The corresponding section begins with "Taking hold of your weapon, you demonstrate the Kai skills of balance and speed, as taught to you by your Kai masters." In this case, it doesn't seem to imply that you must have your Weaponskill weapon, but you do need a weapon. Would a footnote saying that you need a weapon but not necessarily you Weaponskill weapon suffice here?
