Gosh, it seems that keywords, the Platonic ideal of synthetic language, turn the game into a rules lawyer puzzle that easily returns answers that break immersion and discourage realism! Wow, if only we knew that from 15 years of gaming experience.My table simply had a discussion about how we were going to play it. We agreed that Nick + DW intentionally adds another attack, so that you get Attack + Extra Attack + Nick + DW. And then we agreed that there are no stupid weapon drawing exploits because that's not the fiction. We're all reasonable people, so we don't have to hyper codify 10,000 exceptions for the "what if" concern police.Now I get to just play the game with an established behavior, and I get to watch people online discover the reality of deep keywords. It's great.</blockquote>
