[QUOTE="mysticknight232, post: 5247615, member: 88123"] I cannot imagine that holding onto a Ki Weapon but not using it to attack with would still grants you a +2 bonus to your FoB dmg. Eventho it's a static magical weapon property, you should still only gain the benefit from it if you are using it to attack with. If this is not the case, then every class would benefit from merely holding on to 2 weapons or implements. If you attack with Ki Club +1, then you'll gain +1 TH and dmg and an additional +2 to your FoB. If you attack with your Ki Focus +2, you'll get +2 TH and dmg and be able to trigger the ability of your Hammer Ki Focus. Just because you have both in your hands doesn't grant you a combined +3 TH and dmg and the ability to benefit from both the Ki Weapon and the Hammer Focus power on a single hit. If this is the case, than a dual-wielding rangers, fighters, rogues and barbarians would be broken when they made weapon attack. Heck, every class would be broken if they gained properties from merely holding two weapons or implements. That's why the dual implement feat exists, simply to gain a bonus to dmg equal to your offhand implement. You still do not gain any other benefits from it. Since you can only attack with either your Ki Weapon or your Ki Focus, then you would only gain the +2 FoB dmg when you attack and hit with your Ki Weapon. Just because you're swinging your club around, doesn't mean your using it to attack with. If you use your Ki Focus to attack with, then your club (or hands or head or knees or feet) are just being used to "deliever" the attack, you're not actually attack with them. That's why most of the attacks are Melee Touch. You're focusing your Ki energy to deliver it via touch. [/QUOTE]
