Acidic Blood

[Anonymous]

After the battle is over, the NPC will take all weapons tags from anyone who struck it with a weapon, as the acid has destroyed them.
Page 68

Is this intended to include weapons that are not used to strike the creature?

Example 1: I kill three bandits and loot their weapon tags, on the way home I'm attacked by a giant slug. According to the text I would lose all my weapon tags not just the one that I used to strike the creature.

Example 2: Same as above but I kill the slug with a magic sword that is not shatterable. Do I still lose my other weapon tags?

Example 3: I kill a giant slug but only swing my magic sword at the creature and keep my shatterable off hand weapon back. Is my off hand weapon still destroyed?

When fighting a creature with Acid Blood and using a bow/crossbow, is the bow/crossbow destroyed (since it never actually struck the creature, the arrows (which are already destroyed) did)?
(It might seem obvious the way this (and the other questions) was intended, but it wouldn't have been asked if it hadn't come up, and the wording supports the non-intuitive ruling.)

Acidic Blood is intended to only affect specific weapons which were used to strike the creature with Acidic Blood. For bows and crossbows, this includes only the bolts/arrows.
