[QUOTE="RyvenCedrylle, post: 5202711, member: 66726"] Talking about a monk and talking about pretty much any other class are very different animals here. I agree with Mort above in that if you don't have the Ranger feature or an off-hand weapon, you can not wield both weapons as weapons. That being said, your Monk is using them as implements and there is no such thing as an offhand implement. Whether I would allow this as a DM kinda depends on the situation. If I'm running an LFR mod and someone comes to the table with this, I'm going to allow it. LFR is pretty much all about the combat, so do whatever you can to enjoy it and twink away. If I'm running my own campaign, though, I'd find it a bit cheesy for my taste and rule that you can either get the +2 damage OR the extra reach, but not both from the same attack since I believe the intent was to provide two different combat styles. I would consider sending him (or her) on some kind of quest to find a weapon that is both a club and spear because, really, I don't want to take away the fun and I can see how the combination could be a unique and flavorful thing with a little backstory behind it.
