Re: Withholding Allowance

A "static set of Fabricated Items that shall not exceed 30 lbs"...

What I see there is that the set can't change--it's static. I don't see anything saying that each event has a different set; it's possible to make that argument by implication of semantics, but some folks call that lawyering rules.

In other words, the 30 lb you bring to event 1 is the 30 lb you bring to event 2 (I would concede repairs on a broken item as being allowed, for sure, possibly some replacement of worn COTS items in Fabricated Items, but not much more).

Again, that's how I'm reading the rules. I suspect that this would be a good Q&A question; after all, we've got two interpretations, and either could be right. One is a bit more lenient; one is a bit more cautious.
