I can't agree with that. We don't make it extra-difficult for anyone else to draw a weapon for which they don't have a talent, only to strike with it. No reason to create an exception rule either under HTH combat, which is nicely straightforward already.

Defense against HTH ITL p 116 On a 3 or 4, the defender drops his ready weapon and/or shield, but has time to ready his dagger if he has one. He will be able to use it in his next attack. Both figures fall to the ground in the defender’s hex.

We were chatting about drawing a dagger when already in HTH. ITL p 117 last paragraph of the first section (same section you are citing). Also see ITL page 103 (option u). Last edited by Axly Suregrip; 10-18-2021 at 07:48 PM. |

Re: Wizard Errata
Being that Melee & Wizard are stand alone games, I don't know how we could or should reference an ITL rule to apply to a stand alone game?

If it's not in LE, I am wondering should we be comparing it to anything Legacy at all? This might confuse a new player. |

Yes, Legacy Wizard on page 24, and on Reference page 7, say the same things about two weapons and about daggers as original Wizard -- no disagreement there. It's Legacy Wizard Henry is quoting in the original post at the start of this thread.

Re: Wizard Errata
A related issue at Wizards Spell Reference Booklet page 7
"Wizard whose weapon or armor is iron or steel, instead of silver an extra -4 to Spellcasting only" vs Wizard rulebook page 24: "A wizard cannot cast a spell if he has any weapon (except his staff) ready" Does this -4 on spellcasting only apply to carrying around an unready steel weapon? (Like say a bunch of daggers?)

You wrote "vs", but the two rules you mention don't seem to oppose each other, to me. One says an iron or steel weapon gives a wizard -4 to spellcasting (that would include a non-silver dagger). The other says you can't cast a spell with a weapon (other than a staff) ready. Those are also consistent with ITL. |
