[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 8675789, member: 6785785"] Sure. But Blades actually allows for all of that through the Loadout/Gear mechanics. The scoundrel knew to bring his arcane implements because he'd looked into the Dimmer Sisters and knew they'd likely have arcane defenses on their lair. The difference isn't how things are established, only when they are.
