Concealed Weapon

Only usable before range is determined.
This minion equips with a non-unique weapon card from your hand (requirements and cost apply as normal). The weapon cannot cost 3 or more pool or inflict (with a regular strike) aggravated damage or 4 or more damage.

Rulings

A weapon's "current damage" is the amount of damage that it would inflict if used as a strike against a generic opponent.

RTR 19980623

Strength or other bonus from the minion or other cards in play are not counted for the damage limit.

LSJ 20020821 LSJ 20020904

Cost modifications that are not limited to cards "played" are considered before checking for card cost (eg. Black Cat can equip with a Combat Shotgun, Centralized Background Check makes .44 Magnum too costly).

LSJ 20040701 LSJ 20080125 ANK 20181215

Paying from another source (eg. Alan Sovereign) does not reduce the cost as seen by Concealed Weapon.

LSJ 20080125

Conditional damage effects (e.g. Poker's aggravated damage against Kiasyd) are not considered when checking Concealed Weapon's "with a regular strike" qualification.

LSJ 20020729

Equip or employ another card from hand

The equipment or retainer must be announced by name, and in hand, when the card or effect is declared (before the card, if any, is replaced), but need not to be shown until the effect resolves.
