[QUOTE="Kyamsil, post: 35620, member: 2534"] I see no problem with allowing the armor spikes to be used as an off hand attack while having your hands full (be it two handed weapons, weapon & shield or whatever)... but, I must say that to be balanced, perhaps a feat on this "spikey" way of fighting is due. First, consider that armor spikes provoke attacks of opportunity (it's almost the same as unarmed attack) Then add the feat: Spiked Armor Fighting You are trained to make full use of your nasty spiked armor in combat. Prerequisites: Base Attack +3; Martial Weapon Prof (Armor Spikes); Ambidextery; Benefit: You can use armor spikes as a light weapon in combat to make one off-hand attack per round without provoking attacks of opportunity even if your hands are full (you use your knees, elbows or whatever). If you have your hands full you cannot benefit from Ambidexterity in your attack rolls. Any comments? [/QUOTE]
