This is the thread I started if you'd like to have a look -<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules/240978-once-all-can-you-wield-2-implements.html#post4465973" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-4th-edition-rules/240978-once-all-can-you-wield-2-implements.html#post4465973</a>In a nutshell, my question is this: Can you gain the PASSIVE bonuses of 2 implements simultaneously? I understand pretty clearly that only one implement's enhancement bonus or critical damage bonus would apply when using a power. But the properties of many implements don't require any action or 'use', hence 'passive'Here's my example for further clarification:Rod of reaving +1 in right hand, rod of corruption + 1 in the left.I use the rod of reaving to place a curse on my nearest enemy who happens to be a minion. Rod of reaving deals 1 damage and the minion dies. Can I no use the passive effect of the rod of corruption to transfer the curse, foregoing my pact boon? If this IS legal, I would assume that the newly cursed enemies don't also recieve 1 damage from the rod of reaving, because teh curse was TRANSFERRED to them rather than PLACED, and the rod of reaving only deals damage when a curse is PLACED.There has been alot of debate on this, and though I like the idea of stacking passive effects, I only like it if it was intended and purposefully allowed, rather than it being an oversight and therefore an exploit. Balnce and fairness is infinately important to me. Thank you in advance for resolving this for us.-DAVE"If/when I receive an answer, I will post it here</blockquote>
