[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 4729679, member: 82106"] I think you are reading too much into this rule IMHO. The rule says that "Class X can add implement bonus for (whatever its implements are) to its powers" to paraphrase. That does NOT exclude the general case that an implement can add its enhancement to an implement power. Thus I don't actually see a rule that says a Wizard cannot add an implement bonus if he's using an implement power of a different class. All magic implements seem to have text which in and of itself gives them the property of adding their enhancement bonus to all implement powers cast while wielding the magic implement. Now, maybe if we parse this all very carefully we find that a Wand Wizard cannot use his wand feature when casting a non-Wizard spell, but that isn't a huge big deal, just a slight disadvantage of using a power of a different class. If my interpretation is valid, then it pretty much does away with all these debates about who can use what powers with which implement bonuses, etc. Granted you may have to be using a magic implement to use it with a power of a different class, but who cares? A non-magical implement offers no inherent advantages anyway in general (there are edge cases perhaps with some of the weapon/implement combos, but let us leave that for another day). I suppose I could be proven wrong on my interpretation, but it SEEMS valid off the top of my head. [/QUOTE]
