I get a feeling that branmakmuffin is here to disagree rather than to have an argument. So the 'agree to disagree' seems to be the best option indeed. It was initially about the common sense and the freedom of choice, therefore my comment about the indirect buff via resistance mechanics has never been important, it was rather a small notion. Whether thats a big buff, a small buff or a non-buff, restricting the choice for the weapons that can be used in a sneak attack is not very logical. At least when it comes to the light strength based weapons like hand hammers and hand axes.
