[QUOTE="billd91, post: 9002989, member: 3400"] There's a nitpicky exploit in the Light weapon definition. Since there's no stipulation about having to wield that second light weapon in a different hand and you can equip/unequip weapons with each attack in an Attack option (either before or after), what's to stop a character with a shield from attacking with a light weapon/unequip as their first attack, then equipping a second weapon/stab as a bonus action? It may not be clear that you can equip/unequip as part of the bonus action attack, but it I'm not sure it's clear you can't either. That's a bit of fuzziness they should just be explicit about. And even if they clarify that you can't equip/unequip as part of the bonus action attack, is that superseded by the thrown property which explicitly allows you to equip a thrown weapon as part of the ranged attack when you use it as that light weapon bonus action attack?
