Message: <blockquote data-quote="Don Incognito" data-source="post: 4699603" data-attributes="member: 81448">There's a very easy way to solve this issue. Let's say a rogue attacks with by throwing a magic dagger at an enemy. The attack hits, and the dagger dissipates (dissolves into smoke, disintegrates, fades away, melts, what have you). It then simply "appears" in the rogue's hand.This solves many, many problems. Let's say the rogue wants to use Blinding Barrage. He holds up the dagger, and, with a flick of his wrist, fans out a fist full of daggers like a deck of cards. It IS magic, after all. He lets them fly, showering his enemies in a rain of steel. However, seconds after the attack, the daggers are gone, and the rogue is left holding a single magic dagger.There was an example earlier in the thread of the rogue using Blinding Barrage to use his daggers as pitons for rock climbing. He still can, but shortly after his attack (but before the end of his round, assuming he is in combat), the daggers dissolve. Now the rogue has wasted his daily attack for no real benefit.The daggers (or whatever they are, really; phantom crossbow bolts, sling missiles that split apart in mid-air, what have you) can only "split" for the purposes of blast attacks, so a rogue with a ranger multi-class couldn't, say, split the dagger every round in order to gain an off-hand weapon without paying for it. This way, the rogue is still a martial class (i.e. they get their power by throwing things very hard and very fast rather than using magic or another power source), the magic weapon is just a tool that lets him do it better.</blockquote>
