[QUOTE="takyris, post: 829129, member: 5171"] I DID check the official boards. Make sure you avoid condescending tones in your posts. For what it's worth, you're dead right. I was extrapolating a different Official Quote for AoO purposes -- I'd never gotten a response on the question I asked, which was essentially, "Can you take AoOs with guns, even if your last action was to shoot?" CR had just answered this question, regarding whether a gun was considered a ranged weapon or a melee weapon for disarming purposes. Here's his official quote: "The default answer is that a firearm is a ranged weapon; therefore you use the rules for disarming opponents with ranged weapons. However, if the opponent last used his weapon as a melee weapon (making a pistol whip, rifle butt, or fixed bayonet attack), treat the firearm as a melee weapon." Since he didn't respond to my next question, I assumed that he'd said his fill on the matter, and that "treat the firarm as a melee weapon if the person holding it last used it as a melee weapon, and as a ranged weapon otherwise" was meant to apply to all combat situations. Apparently, the "however you last used it" rule only applies to disarming and not to AoOs. Contradictory and somewhat silly, but bang-on by his two official rulings. -Tacky [/QUOTE]
