[QUOTE="Rune, post: 6640468, member: 67"] The designers, in their finite wisdom, decided to make a game whose rules are meant to help describe the fiction of the game, rather than to define it. Because it is physically impossible to load non-semi-automatic (that is, non-self-loading) hand crossbows with your hands full, the rules reflect that (and always were intended to, as far as I can tell). Because the game allows for the players to define what is physically possible in their own campaigns (that is, not organized play campaigns, which necessarily share a set of assumptions about the physics of the setting), the rules are easily altered without affecting anything else. In other words, they are designed to be changed without breaking. Since the rules are designed not to break, the game is designed such that rules-breaking is not a thing. No need to be bitter about it; do as intended and make the game your own. [/QUOTE]
