Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cadfan" data-source="post: 4352357" data-attributes="member: 40961">My only complaint is the whole "it takes 3 hands" thing.The class gets access to simple ranged weapons, and has powers that trigger from ranged weapons.  This basically means crossbows, in context.  It also has a theme of "rune inscribed augmented weaponry," which is pretty cool, but again means you're using crossbows.And then you're ALSO using implements.I assume a crossbow requires two hands to load.  Implements take up one hand.So there are a couple of things this could mean.1. You aren't supposed to use implements and crossbows at the same time.  You create either a ranged weapon artificer (who carries around his custom designed pimped out magical crossbow and a quiver of arcane ammunitions), or you create an implement artificer.  But not both.  I think this would be rather lame.2. The crossbow is shooting magical ammunition that's part of the crossbow's magical enhancement, and you fire it like a pistol without needing to reload it, so long as you're using artificer powers rather than mundane crossbow bolts.  With a pistolbow in one hand, and a magical rod in the other, you're like an arcane gunslinger.  I think this would be rather cool.3. Its an oversight and needs fixed.If the answer is 1 or 2, it should be spelled out clearly.I'll email that to the response email address.</blockquote>
