[QUOTE="chorolus, post: 5156358, member: 89552"] I read through the Errata, and apparently you can have different types of blades on each end of a Double-weapon. Pasted from the Eratta pdf: Wielding a double weapon is like wielding a weapon in each hand. In the table, the first line of the double weapon’s entry describes the end of the weapon wielded in your main hand. The indented line describes the weapon’s other end, wielded in your off-hand. The two ends of a double weapon can have different proficiency bonuses, damage, properties, and weapon groups. The weight and price entries represent the total for the weapon, rather than only one side. When adding an enchantment that requires a particular weapon type, at least one end of the weapon must match the requirement. For example, an urgrosh could gain the vorpal enchantment, even though only one end meets the requirement of “heavy blade or axe.” An enchanted double weapon gains all benefits of the enchantment on each end (even if one end would not normally qualify for the enchantment). This does not increase the frequency of use of any power possessed by the item; if you wield a double weapon with a daily power you can still only activate that power once per day. So...theoretically I could have a Double-weapon with a Dagger or other light blade on one end, making the Wraithblade enchantment available, and having a Heavy Blade on the other end, making available Heavy Blade Opportunity? I'm not trying to argue, I'm just trying to push the envelope a little and explore the rules. ;) One thing it doesn't clarify, but after tinkering with the Character Builder I think is assumed, is that you can only have one enchantment on a Double-Weapon, right? You can't enchant each end differently? I suppose that's the biggest difference between using a Double-Weapon vs using two 1-handed weapons... [/QUOTE]
