Eleven years later in the September 1995 edition of "Dragon" (Issue 221), Rick Swan reviewed the updated 144-page "Arms Law" book that had been released in conjunction with the revised "Rolemaster Standard System" edition. Swan still found the complexity of the "Rolemaster" system astounding, saying, "With its tidal wave of numbers, formulas, and tables, the "Rolemaster" game always struck me as the kind of fantasy RPG that calculus professors play on their day off." Swan found "Arms Law" to be "mainly a book of tables — more than 100 pages worth." He gave the book an average rating of 4 out of 6, and recommended it only for the mathematically inclined: "If you read computer manuals for fun, if you get misty-eyed thinking about your high school algebra class, if you wonder why your friends complain about something as trivial as filling out tax forms, then "Rolemaster" ought to be right up your alley. "Arms Law" is as good a place as any to begin your investigation."
