Message: <blockquote data-quote="franzel" data-source="post: 4740085" data-attributes="member: 14808">I see what you're talking about that wasn't my point at all.  My point was the discrepancy in the text between cunning weapon itself and the description of using cunning weapon in the start of the weapon section of AV.  The off-hand property issue is a side one.  For me, the main issue is whether a cunning weapon's property can apply to all powers or only to weapon powers, i.e. powers where the accessory is a weapon.I'll quote again and spell out what I'm seeing there:You could reasonably interpret this property text to apply in any scenario where the weapon is used, whether it is used as a weapon as an accessory for a weapon power or whether it is used as an implement as an accessory for an implement power.  HOWEVER, we have this EXTRA text at the beginning of the weapon section which uses the cunning weapon as its example:Forget the off-hand, main-hand issue for the moment.  That section SPECIFICALLY MENTIONS weapon powers.  By doing so, it strongly implies that the property can ONLY be used for weapon powers and not for implement powers.  Now obviously, it doesn't specifically exclude implement powers in its example so maybe I'm reading the text too literally.  However, we've had confusion and differing opinions on which weapon properties can be used for implement powers (CSR responses have leaned towards only weapon powers, so take that for what it's worth) and in my mind this pushes it towards the weapon power only camp.Anyway, nothing is settled and this really just needs to be addressed once and for all.  R&D needs to tell us what they mean when the use the word "weapon."  Do they mean a weapon power or just an item that happens to be a weapon?</blockquote>
