Concealed Weapon says you equip with a weapon that "cannot cost more
than 2 pool or inflict (with a regular strike) aggravated damage or
more than 3 damage."

How much information does the card take into account when determining
what equipment is legal?

Most specifically, I'd like to know if I can CW out a Bundi on a guy
with +2 strength or aggravated hand damage, or Jaroslav Pascek.

More generally, what does the card take into account and what doesn't
it? Can black cat conceal out weapons with a printed cost of 3,
because of her special? Does an in-play Mass Reality affect anything?

Concealed weapon only cares about the weapon card you are playing, not
about how it interacts with any in game effects

"(with a regular strike)" is the key.

You can, yes.

"(with a regular strike)" a normal minion has 1 strength. The damage
done by a normal minion against a normal opponent.

>an black cat conceal out weapons with a printed cost of 3,

Yes.

>Does an in-play Mass Reality affect anything?

No.

Black Cat is good to go.

Black Cat: "Equipping Black Cat costs 1 less pool"

No "action" requirement - any equipping will be affected by the
special.

Black Cat can use Concealed Weapon to equip with a Gas-Powered
Chainsaw for free, or can use Concealed Weapon to equip with a Combat
Shotgun for 2 pool.

The baseline seems to be that Concealed Weapon checks for three things
only...
1) Is the weapon unique? Yes = can't use CW
2) Does the weapon itself deal agg (e.g Sengir Dagger) ? Yes = can't
use CW
3) Does the weapon deal more than 3 damage by itself? Yes = can't use
CW

So Jaroslav can CW a Bundi with 5 Mass Realities on the table because
Bundi's are:
1) not unique
2) do not deal base agg
3) do not deal base 3+ damage

But Jaroslav can wail away with a Bundi for 2 + 2 (Jaroslav Text) + 5
(5xMass Reality) = 9...

Well, except that he would be wailing away for 14 Jara + bundi +5 mass
reality (MR = str +2 * 5)

It also checks the pool cost.
