Okay, so please forgive me for not understanding, but page 3 has a weapons equivalencies sidebar that's got me confused, it says that the weapons in the book have unique stats or play a specific role, what is the point of the butterfly knife, what role does it have that makes it special. It's got all the same stats as a normal dagger and weighs 1lbs less. Just curious is there something I'm missing, considering that when you have a normal dagger in your hand you don't need quick draw or an exotic proficiency to arm yourself. I could see maybe if it included rules to conceal it with a sleight of hand check that wasn't already covered by a normal dagger, but I just don't see why this weapon is ever going to be used by anyone?

Because some people want their character to use a butterfly knife instead of a dagger, even though there's no mechanical advantage to it.
Why not just throw that into the same category of "call your greatsword a zweihander" I guess it just seems kinda silly to make an exotic weapon that is weaker than a standard dagger. By the way you do know that even if we disagree I think you're an awesome writer and designer (I have your swords to plowshares and your argonauts stuff) and appreciate you taking the time to answer
Okay question #2, the launching crossbow doesn't have any stats listed, it doesn't even have a range category or explain what the difference is between using it and just throwing a potion.
