In my oppinion shouldn't this work with the hidden weapons introduced later in the book, just seems logical... Thanks for any replies Long days and pleasant nights Jagnis

I think that the reason for that is related to the -2 to use the surprise weapons - you are using something that isn't really a weapon, but happens to have had a weapon concealed within it. A concealed weapon is intended to be a weapon. My harp and boots have weapons in them, but are not in and of themselves weapons intended for combat. I feel the distinction is significant; if you disagree, that's your call.

It's not what your attacking with it's how supprised your opponent is to see the new weapon. Long days and pleasant nights Jagnis
