[QUOTE="Axiomatic Unicorn, post: 119911, member: 1974"] Honestly, no, it does not help. It seems to me that you want to insist on defining a command word activiated item as a use activated item. Quite simply, if you have to spend a standard action doing something that is not the normal use of the item in order to activate the item, then clearly it can't be a use activated item. It is a "that-something-else-you did-to-activate-it" item, generally a command word item. I get the idea that you are twisting this because you want to have a command word item with an unlimited number of charges. I am not sure that is an intended kind of item. I don't see how going to a non-random instant hit (and probable instant crit) every other round adds to the quality of the game. Not letting a player make an item of a type that doe not exist in the rules is not saying "Because I said so." Anyway, if you want me to follow up, I will. If you want me to drop it at this, that is fine. [/QUOTE]
