I got the same answer from Sam. I did mention that he has said in the past not to make rules judgements from the Fluff but to look at the actual rule and that his answer was inconsistent with that, but so it goes.

The rules effect says that the weapon is "mounted on the wrist," so it is in the actual rule.

Really!? Thank the Maker you're here to tell us all what no one else has mentioned in the last 9 pages of comments. If only you were here earlier, the time we would have saved...

The response was specifically in response to your accusation of inconsistency from the dev...

Although I do realize that that was the root of the issue, people not agreeing on what a weapon "mounted on the wrist" did, exactly.

I only meant that Sam was just explaining an actual rule, not inferring one from the "fluff."

His rule isn't inconsistent with the RAW though. As has been explained the draw manuever rule doesn't state it applies to all weapons, only some. The only counter to this was that the ready portion of the rule would apply, however this was countered (and never adressed) that normal holstered weapons were only spending one manuever to unholster and then where ready to fire and didn't need to apply a ready manuever as was being insisted as what needed to be done for the wrist mount.Ergo nothing in the RAW contradicts the ruling in that you need only one manuever to prep a holstered weapon and not another to ready it so that can't really be an excuse if we're treating all weapns the same. Not only that but QuickDraw wouldn't have solved the situation since it only covers unholstering and holstering, not readying which would indicate that if we went with the "it needs to be readied" argument you'd need two manuevers to prep any weapon before it could be fired or one if you posessed quick draw.

You and I should probably just work out some sort of rota for this and the other thread.

Rota? Not familiar with that term

Probably " rotation ", as in "who is on shift" to talk to these people.

Huh. It's British English and Evil Eeyore has the right of it - it means a shift schedule. We've been pretty much saying the exact same thing in this and the Duelling Pistols thread - seemed like we should probably organize a duty roster.

Ah I see haha
