[QUOTE="Seramus, post: 7897703, member: 6812658"] I see the quotes as an acknowledgement that some items in the list might not be considered weapons by some, but are considered weapons by the system. I've got nothing against your interpretation, and definitely see how you could arrive at it, but I don't consider it to be the most likely one. I'm reminded of the crusades. Massive ecclesiastic schisms have come about because two different people can read the same text and arrive at different conclusions, but then one party says "There is only one true way!" and suddenly there's armies and murder. I'm not arguing about unarmed strikes, and I don't know why you keep bringing it up in a conversation with me. You're having that argument with other people, not me. The multitude of posters arguing against you are not a monolithic entity either. We each have slightly different positions. The improvised weapon rules say it counts as a weapon when you make an attack with it, and then not as a weapon as soon as you finish the attack. And then you get into the Rip Off Your Arm/Picked Up By A Giant trap other posters have mentioned. [/QUOTE]
