[QUOTE="Nichwee, post: 5992190, member: 84242"] Completely agree. I made the statement I did to stress the fact that using a weapon as an implement is "hitting with the weapon" and it was "hit with <keyword> power" that determined anything else - so yes an Implement power with the Melee range used with a weapon would allow a "hit with a melee power with this weapon". As for Burst/Blast powers they are determined by what they say on them. They are not "a melee power", they are a Close or Area power as said on each power. Basically using a weapon as an implement is the same as "using the weapon" in any other context. The rest of the issue is whether any other restrictions are placed by the wording of any given power/property. So (when using a weapon as an implement): "hit with this weapon" = fine with any power that hits and has the Implement keyword* [to indicate the implement (weapon) was used]. "hit with a melee power with this weapon" = fine with Melee range powers with the Implement keyword*, otherwise not etc. * Powers with the Weapon keyword would also count - but you wouldn't be using the weapon as an implement at the time of course.
