<p>You react as if I said "You're not allowed to have detailed book-keeping".</p>
<p>I didn't. I said "The rules boil down to +2 Bulk".</p>
<p>If you actually <b>want</b> to track bulk, and what goes where, you're absolutely welcome to.</p>
<p>But the rules don't mandate it. Just assume +2 Bulk and you're good to go.</p>Mathmuse wrote:Zapp wrote:Just to repeat the obvious:

<p>Wow. That's an OLD post. Did you note how most people agreed that the GM was in the wrong, and that drawing a weapon from a bag was a move action? </blockquote><p>Oh yeah but it would have provoked!

Which while not fun kinda does make sense.Ravingdork wrote:Malk_Content wrote:Funnily enough when I was trying to google up the rules text there was a thread you started in which you took a weapon out of your bag and disagreed with the action cost.
