But no, it's "a" weapon, not one weapon per 3 MA, nor per DX roll, nor per hand. And yes, that's not utterly clear in RAW. But the rules are getting clarified (sooner or later), and even though it doesn't say so, I have it on authority that scooping is meant to be limited to one per turn, only in hexes you're actually in at the time. What's not certain is whether scoop is only available with Option (a) MOVE, or not. I believe the original intent was that it would allow some creative use, but not to be illogical, excessive, or too weird. |

Re: Picking up a dropped weapon while engaged - when do you stand up?
Skarg,
More than once above you said the scoop act may only be done for a weapon/item in your same hex. I cannot find this in the rules. The section on scooping (ITL 104) says nothing either way. All I see about picking up items range is under options and it lets items be picked up from adjacent hexes. Just curious where you got this from. -kind regards |

Logically if you could scoop up from an adjacent hex you'd get three attempts to pick up as you got to and then moved away from the hex.

You're supposed to say which hexes you move through, which one item you're going to scoop up from one of those hexes, and if you don't spend +3 MA picking it up, you roll (once) to see whether you got it or not - if you miss, you complete your planned move but the object stays where it was. |
