Huh. May be true, but I don't remember it. Do you have a link?

Probably the lockpicking perk was the first precedent (created when trying to duplicate some spell).

That's certainly the example of which I was thinking.

Kromm is special. He's allowed to break the rules 'cause he wrote them. :)

also GMs are allowed to break rules because they have "house rules" and they may well say that players can't mod perks but GMs can

It doesn't matter, in this case it's simply two different perks written up incorrectly:

Rule Exemption: (May take a weapon as an accessory) (1)

Accessory: (Lariat) (1)

Add Quirk: Lariat can not be released and attacks to it cause damage to you, if you want to reduce it back to 1 point.

Although I'd be wary of 'can take weapon as an accessory' as a Rules Exemption perk. It's almost as bad as Rules Exemption - can buy Innate Attack for 1 point.
