[ Moving weapons from the wiki to the ruleset and the GNDT, and giving each weapon its own rule. ]

If it exists, reword the rule “Weapons” to:-

Each Soldier may carry zero, one or two weapons in their holster. This is tracked in the GNDT.

Subrules of this rule define the weapons available to the Soldiers. Each weapon has a damage rating, an ammo rating and an availability amount.

A Soldier may add a weapon to their holster at any time, unless this would result in their holster having three or more weapons, or if the number of copies of a weapon in all Soldiers’ holsters would exceed the availability amount of that weapon.

And add a subrule to it, titled “Service revolver”:-

A service revolver has a damage rating of 1, and an ammo rating of 1. Thirty service revolvers are available.

If the proposal “Combat” passed, replace “the ratings of the soldiers weapon” with “the damage ratings of the soldiers weapon”, and “If a soldier or enemy combatant has no weapon rating, it is 0.” with “If a soldier or enemy combatant has no weapon, their damage rating is 0.”, in the rule it created.

for I approve this… however, is it understandable that each sub-rule is its own weapon? It should say so somewhere if just for clarity.

Also, Ammo would also be a sub-rule to Weapons. Is ammo a weapon?

And thinking some more about it, I don’t like weapons tracking in the GNDT, it could be spammy.  against

against Ah, Ammo as a subrule makes me no longer undecided.  Otherwise, pretty good, but I dislike the rush for service revolvers.

against and also it would be impossible to kill someone with a weapon with 1 damage rating with singularbyte’s combat rule

I’d missed Ammo being a subrule. I don’t think it actually breaks anything (“Each weapon has a damage rating, an ammo rating and an availability amount.”, so Ammo isn’t a weapon), but it should be tidied up at some point.

How is tracking two weapons per player “spammy”?

for I’m pretty sure that doesn’t mean that all subrules are considered weapons; just that weapons are only defined by subrules of that rule.

[dogfish] That’s maybe more of a flaw with the Combat rule’s implementation of low-scoring weapons. Either way, other weapons would be added as the game progresses.

against Don’t like the rule structure, but I think weapons should be in the GNDT - because the wiki is unwieldy at times.

[Amnistar] The biggest advantages of the GNDT here are that everyone definitely has access to it, and it’s in the sidebar, making the gameplay more visible for everyone. Looking at the “Table” wiki page for the last dynasty,
only seven players bothered using it.
