If Fast Hands said 'steal weapons', it'd be clear. 'steal equipment' pluralised is still 'steal equipment'. But I'm a believer in the "If it doesn't say you can, you can't" school, than the "If it doesn't say you can't, then you can" school. In my mind, if it meant "steal one or more equipment CARDS from an ally" then that would have been made clearer. Though I do understand the query, I've had more than my share of counter-intuitive rulings made based on technicalities at the edge of my understanding. Morgan Vening
