[QUOTE="RogueJK, post: 112424, member: 170"] This is sorta related to the Greatsword+Armor Spikes TWF issue. It's up to the individual DM whether or not it is legal. By the rules, the only way to attack with a two-handed weapon (or two weapons dual-wielded) and another part of your body is with the Multiweapon Fighting feat from the MM. This is explained in the FRCS errata where they describe how to use Bladed Boots. Your feet/shoulders/knees/etc. are considered off hands when determining penalties. If your DM allows it, you could attack with a Bastard Sword two-handed and an unarmed attack with your feet or other surface with -2 to all attacks if you have both the Ambidexterity and Multi-Weapon Fighting feats. [i][Edit] Based on the planned character progression that you posted in another thread, I'd like to point out that, as a DM, I wouldn't allow the Ambidexterity gained from being a Ranger to apply to this. You would have to take Ambidexterity and Multiweapon Fighting as regular feats.[/Edit][/i] Letting go of a weapon is a free action. You could, conceivably, attack with a BS two-handed, and then let go with one hand, as a free action, at the end of your turn. However, unless you have the EWP:BS, you would receive a -4 penalty to any attacks made while the BS is in only one hand. This penalty would apply to AoOs made and any attacks made before you place the other hand back on the sword. [/QUOTE]
