[edit] Waive
Waiving a cost means that the cost need not be paid for its action or other effect to happen. Any effect that removes a cost altogether, including “need not” wording, is considered to be waiving that cost.
A waived cost is not considered a cost for purposes of things that look for a certain cost. However, waiving a cost does not effect the “base” cost.
When one cost is substituted for another, the original cost is not considered to be waived.
[edit] Weapon
Weapon is a keyword found on Items. A Personality can only have one Weapon attached at any time, and cannot attach a Weapon if he or she already has one attached.
[edit] While
Indicates a condition that applies if something is true over a given period. “While he is dishonorable, he has +2F” means that for the duration of the effect he gets +2F at any time he is dishonorable. If he becomes honorable, and then dishonorable again, during this period he would get the +2F.
EXCEPTION: “While” together with “remains” has a different meaning; see “remains.”
Example: “While he remains dishonorable” would indicate that he does not get the +2F if he is rehonored and then dishonored again.
