[QUOTE="Syrsuro, post: 4415973, member: 58162"] Ok, my assumption was that they use their weapon of choice for all attacks and for the damage roll. But doesn't this mean that a ranger who grabs a rock and calls it an 'improvised weapon' has satisfied the requirements for two melee weapons? (And yes, I know that improvised weapons do not have the property "off-hand weapon". But rangers with two blade fighting style can treat a one-handed weapon as if it were an off hand weapon). And if that is the case, what about using his fist? It's listed under "Improvised Melee Weapons" as well. Or a shield? It seems logical to me that he should be able to use a shield as an improvised weapon (giving up the defensive bonus until the next round, of course). Or even his bow? Rather than put his bow away, he just uses his minor action to draw the melee weapon and attacks with it, calling the bow an improvised weapon in the off-hand and satisfying the requirement. Since the only attack and damage rolls are based on the main hand, it seems irrelevant what is in his off hand. Carl [/QUOTE]
