I've been told that a concealed weapon's cost cannot be reduced by
Baldesar's special. I would like to understand why :

Baldesar Rosselini :

Independent: Once each turn, if Baldesar is ready, he can reduce the cost of
a location or of an equipment you play by 1 pool or blood. +1 strength.

Concealed Weapon :

Equip this minion with a non-unique weapon card 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.

Card text: "you play" means "in the normal fashion" (cf. Sudden
Reversal, etc.)

Guess that's one of that cases when Jack of Both Sides is "better"
than Concealed.
Baldesar can even keep saving pool on equipment even if he has already
used his ability that turn...
