[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5028751, member: 82106"] Yeah, confusingly defensive is actually an enchantment. There are others too, enchantments that work via properties that are "always on". In AV in a quick scan I see Bloodthirsty Weapon (could be very interesting for a caster), Brilliant Energy Weapon (but works for anyone), Defensive Weapon, Demonbane Weapon, Holy Healer's Weapon, Lucklender, Mace of Healing, Medic's Weapon, Prime Shot Weapon, Shapechanger's Sorrow, Staggering Weapon (but not any good as an implement), Subtle Weapon (yoinks!), Thundergod Weapon (probably not much use), Vanguard Weapon (ditto). All of the above are by this ruling now usable by an arcane caster even when using a light shield. And a light shield is NOT a bad idea for a caster. Especially if he can still use his SUBTLE WEAPON with it!!!! I mean that thing is a premo weaplement. Bloodthirsty ain't bad either, defensive is good, etc. I'd happily take a proficiency in light shield as a sorcerer vs TWD. Heck I can STILL wield the spiked shield. Heck, its a light blade, I can now have spiked shield as a light blade weaplement, hold another weaplement in my hand and use its properties (or a straight implement, rod of ruin anyone?) AND have my main implement. hi-diddly diddle. Honestly its not the worst thing in the entire universe, but why cant the fighter or the cleric do the same thing? Oh, they can, by MCing into swordmage or sorcerer, "rolls eyes". Its just way too confusing and its nonsense. Every 4e player has to be a rules lawyer now? This is dumb. Weaplements are a nightmare from that perspective already. [/QUOTE]
