[QUOTE="Thyrwyn, post: 6526468, member: 12354"] First and foremost: I hope everyone in this thread is having fun - I'm not trying to criticize or demean anyone. The goal of a discussion or argument (not a fight :)) is clarity - that's all. Please have fun, I am. No authority, just the definition of definition. The line I quoted from the PHB is just that, a "formal statement of the meaning or significance of a word, phrase, idiom, etc." (from dictionary.com). In the English language, if someone asks: "What is a cherry?", the typical response would be in the form "A cherry is ..." Just like the quote from the PHB. I care about what is correct, also. But when adjudicating the game, [I]especially 5e[/I], if it takes referencing 5 different pages in three different books (hyperbole, forgive me:) ) and looking up the definition of 'definition', it is much easier to ask "Will this break the game?" I get that. It's all good :) But that is not what I am arguing... You seem to arguing that a weapon has to belong to EITHER the set of melee weapons OR the set of ranged weapons. I am arguing that a weapon can belong BOTH, depending on usage. To illustrate :) ... just because [B]thing A[/B] belongs to the [B]set B[/B], does not mean that [B]thing A[/B] cannot also belong to [B]set C[/B] [/QUOTE]
