Sheath of Bladestealth doesn't work with rapiers or short swords?

A rapier and a short sword are both piercing weapons.

A Sheath of Bladestealth (APG,pg309) works with "any bladed slashing weapon, from a dagger to a greatsword".

This means that the rogue can't hide his rapier and shortsword this way, but the fighter can hide his greatsword. Really ?

Errata, please ?

Or you could rule it that way. Talk to your DM about it. Or if you are the DM, just say it works.

Silver Crusade

I think there is more need for a complete UC errata than for something developers would assume any DM can just handwave the "problem" and be done with it.

Sovereign Court

It could be intentionally made to only work with slashing weapons too, just to point it out.

After all the Fighter with the Greatsword needs the bonus a heck of a lot more then the Rogue.
