Background:
In First Edition
https://www.aonsrd.com/SpecialMaterials.aspx?ItemName=Weapon&Family=Aby sium
And Starfinder 1e
https://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment/special-materials/#Abysium
Abysium says that weapons and armor make you sick (from radiation).
In 2nd edition Abysium says
https://2e.aonprd.com/Equipment.aspx?ID=1405
". A creature carrying an abysium object is sickened 1 for a standard-grade object of light Bulk, sickened 2 for a standard-grade object of 1 Bulk or more or a high-grade object of light Bulk, or sickened 3 for a high-grade object of 1 Bulk or more."
And the Abyssium Armor (https://2e.aonprd.com/Equipment.aspx?ID=1406) follows suit by giving the sickened condition. However, my players are pointing out that the Abysium weapon (https://2e.aonprd.com/Equipment.aspx?ID=1409) says "Abysium weapons are safe to carry, as the toxic metal is contained within an outer shell." and are therefore arguing that it is safe to handle and does not apply the sickened condition. This seems counter to established precedent from years of previous editions. I'm in favor of coming down on the side of it still makes you sickened because the Abysium Object section overshadows the Abysium Weapon section.
Can I get the devs to weigh in on this?
