if our role would be a para-polizei, why not bring back the ability to make arrests that was a feature of the Ael'Sor? (go beau). those cells did come in handy once or twice, especially with such horrendous incidents as dixie's indecent exposure in front of the security cameras. troopers could be issued handcuffs that would ignore the usual 'follow' structure, though i foresee abuse of that. perhaps make that an option at higher levels, or enable those with high enough locksmithing to pick loose from their cuffs and escape.

I could see grenades being realistically a "controlled substance" of sorts. I don't know too many civilians who can get their hands on them RL. Though also I don't know of anything stopping them from being able to operate one if they did. I think they'd be a good candidate for a "Trooper only" store.

I could see other more high-techy combat items only being usable by Troopers, because they'd be the only ones specifically "trained" by their guild on how to do so.

Are they magical military boots that don't let certain people wear them?

I wouldn't have a problem with them being in a Trooper store. But black markets tend to develop. And hand grenades aren't exactly a high tech item requiring specialized knowledge (neither are those boots).

To me Trooper = Army = Grenade.

Logical, honest!

That has absolutely nothing to do with answering the question. If Mellie hands me a grenade, am I supposed to not know how to pull the pin and throw it?

Well, maybe troopers get that training lesson in "not blowing yourself up".

You can say the same thing on why I can't learn guardian-only stances. It's just a special way to position yourself, right?

Same for spellsongs, spells, and psi abilities.

I think even 8 year old non-Trooper Yaru could figure out how to throw a live grenade so it's not next to him when it blows up. Or maybe not.

Maybe troopers should get a thrown weapons bonus when considering grenades? :\

I think this is more one of those 'suspension of belief' things, than "it logically makes sense that only so and so knows how to use this explosive"

Who ever said grenades still use pins 600 years later?

The profession that should have absolute ownership of grenades is clearly Artisans. I mean, duh.

No, but you'll have trouble using the fingerprint scanner that's coded to Mellie. Or to some special piece of Trooper equipment. Or you wouldn't pull the pin for fear of the killer robot monkeys who devour deviants who illegally possess explosives.

I don't mean to sound like an ass, but these aren't the DR boards. You don't need to argue every single "profession-territory" issue just because you can, and you don't need to assume someone is trying to rape you at every opportunity.
