No worries!That's fair. i think it is just a typo. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
One of the schools of magic specializes in unarmed combat. That might be the intention.Mages can't use metal weapons and cast spells, so I believe that the intention was to create a character without any weapons
Tomas answer to this.On page 73 it says:
“Subtle: The weapon grants a boon and increased damage when performing sneak attacks (page 43).”
But a sneak attack that uses a melee weapon always gets a boon right? So to write under the description of the subtle trait that you get a boon as well as an extra damage die is confusing. Why mention something generic that is applicable to all melee weapons as well as specific rule under the description for the weapon trait? Unless you will get two boons while doing a sneak attack with a subtle weapon.
Sneak attacks always gives a boon, subtle weapons also gives increased damage.
