Fabricate Arms

[Trinoya]

So I'm reading over this ability and think it would work really well as a supplement to my generalist (heavy on the multiclassing, high skill focus character, the idea being to fill roles when they are needed).

My question is as follows: When you fabricate a weapon does the weapon come with its associated ammo. RAW I'm inclined to say no due to the line that it says: "you can't make weapons that are expended with use (such as arrows, grenades, or missiles) with this magic hack."

It would seem to remove a lot of the utility, so a rules clarification would be welcome.

My reading of that rule is that you can't use 'fabricate arms' to create grenades, missiles or specifically grenade arrows, becouse those'd break the game's economy something fierce and make the ability prooobably way the hell too powerfull. That said, I'd assume any normal weapon you make with 'fabricate arms' comes fully loaded with whatever ammo it normally takes. Its not explicitly stated, but it'd be pretty dumb if it didn't.

Yeah, I do feel that is the rule as intended. In a few weeks when the erratas hit the srd and what not I suppose we'll all get some answers to this and other questions. ^_^;
