So at the very least I have to interpret the rule using the shortcut until the end of this edition of the ToC. I can change the rule to the strict interpretation, but I want to be able to clearly explain what people's options are when they have - A shield and a bowA shield and a crossbowCan they have the shield in their hand at the beginning of combat, but not readied? What are their options if they want to use the missile weapon with that configuration?If this is the way that you play in your game, then you have already thought through these scenarios, right? My brain is having trouble locking on to this concept.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
