Message: <blockquote data-quote="Patryn of Elvenshae" data-source="post: 2800132" data-attributes="member: 23094">There is exactly one (which implies another reference).You can find it in the 3.0 (and possibly 3.5) FAQ under a question about a defending weapon held / wielded in the off-hand.  The FAQ states that, in order, to benefit from the defending enhancement (which provides a bonus to the wielder's AC), you must accept TWF penalties.If you accept that distinction as true, then the TWF rules in the Combat section also distinguish between a held and a wielded weapon in their description of what "fighting this way" means.If you do not accept the FAQ's answer, then there is no distinction in the rules between wielding and holding (other than, perhaps, a reference that you can hold a two-handed weapon in one hand, but you cannot wield it in one hand).</blockquote>
