[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 7671429, member: 59506"] Not True. Anyone can play the game any way they want on their table; nothing about that has changed. What's changed is people can't legitimately call it RAW. It also has additional mechanical implications outside of this specific application (detailed below). Except it's not just visual; and I've seen you display a far too knowledgeable understanding of the system to believe you don't see the implications your self. As I explained in a post in this thread earlier today: That implication is that one cannot use the Expert Crossbow Feat with just one free hand. One cannot then use a shield and a hand-crossbow, and reload with either the hand holding the shield or the crossbow, which is what you're interpretation allowed for. One also cannot use a weapon in the off-hand and still be able to re-load a hand crossbow using the Expert Crossbow Feat. Those are significantly more than just visual implications. Also, shidaku, why is it so hard to simply say you were mistaken? Why do you instead respond with [I]"it's silly"[/I]? You stated over and over that your interpretation was RAW and everybody else was wrong; and you most certainly didn't think your stance and argument then was [I]silly. [/I]Why, when it's now contrary to your interpretation, is it suddenly so? If you're going to be one of the "Rules Guys," one of those here that take it upon themselves to clarify rules questions that people pose here (and BTW, you do it very well, fulfilling a very important role for our discourse community), don't you also have to admit when you're wrong? If for no other reason than to maintain your credibility? [/QUOTE]
