User blog comment:Derrmann/Why multi-function requirement is a bad idea./@comment-23790511-20140127034522

The only reason I disagree is because I personally can come up with multi-functional weapons.

Did I give every OC I ever made a multi-functional weapon? Of course not. But those OCs are the ones who I keep with other fanons and don't abide by RWBYverse logic.

So while I have no quarrel with the rule of multi-function weapons, I understand how some are not so happy with the idea. But I will say this: test your creativity even if you think it's reached its limit. You may pleasantly surprise yourself. Restrictions force you to think outside the box and not go for the same-old same-old. Not only does this ensure no OC is OP, but it also decreases the amount of clone OCs out there. Well, at least on RWBY fanon.
