Forgive me if I could've found this information elsewhere. I tried.
But can you concealed weapon a grenade?
Here's why I ask:
Concealed weapon: "Equip this minion with a non-unique weapon from your hand
at the beginning of a round. Pay weapon's equip cost as normal. The weapon
cannot cost more than 2 pool or inflict (with a regular strike) aggravated
damage or more than 3 damage."
Grenade: "3R damage as a strike. If Grenade is used at close range, the
minion with this weapon takes 1 damage. Burn after use."
Seems to me that a grenade, with a regular, no maneuvers, strike does 4
damage total. No?

A grenade does 3R damage, not 4. The side-effect self-inflicted point of damage
is not "damage from a strike", and isn't counted by Concealed Weapon.

Yes.

The regular strike is 3. The extra damage is irrelevant. Even if Mass
Reality would modify the actual damage of the Grenade, what counts is the
unmodified (regular) effect (strike) of the card.
