[QUOTE="Darksteed, post: 5808880, member: 85506"] So the exact wording on the items are this. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [U]Gauntlet Axe[/U] This heavy bracer holds two light crescent blades, turning the forearm into an axe while keeping the hand free. The weapon can also serve as a light shield. A gauntlet axe can be enchanted as either an arms slot item or as a magic weapon. When enchanted as a magic weapon, it does not occupy a character’s arms slot. Properties: Defensive (A defensive weapon grants you a +1 bonus to AC while you wield the defensive weapon in one hand and wield another melee weapon in your other hand. Wielding more than one defensive weapon does not increase this bonus. To gain this benefit, you need not attack with the defensive weapon, but you must be proficient with it.). Off-Hand (An off-hand weapon is light enough that you can hold it and attack effectively with it while holding a weapon in your main hand. You can’t attack with both weapons in the same turn, unless you have a power that lets you do so, but you can attack with either weapon.). [U]Rhythm Blade[/U] Property While you wield this weapon in your off hand, your shield bonus to AC and Reflex increases by 1. [U]Fighting Shield[/U] Property This shield can be used as a one-handed melee weapon with +3 proficiency, 1d6 damage, heavy blade, off-hand. It grants a +1 enhancement bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls when used as a melee weapon, and it deals 1d6 extra damage on a critical hit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- So three weapons are off hand. The Gauntlet Axe states that if enchanted as a weapon is does not occupy the arm slot of a PC, and leaves the hand free. The Gauntlet Axe being an off-hand weapon means I can place it on my off hand. To gain the benefits of Defensive, one needs to wield another weapon in his other hand. Which will be his Fighting Heavy Shield. A weapon and a shield all in one. It now goes in his Main Hand. The Rhythm Blade Short Sword is an off-hand weapon which will go in his free hand. As he doesn't need to attack with the rhythm blade or anything, just hold it. Mechanically no different then really holding an Everburning Torch or Sunrod. This is simply a breakdown of how I came to the conclusion of such things, and an aid into bringing the exact wording for others to light. Not arguing any points. Hopefully this helps out some.
