The restrictions are that it has to be with a piercing weapon, you can only use it one-handed, and you can't have a weapon or shield being used in your other hand... it says nothing about it being a melee weapon. This would allow for thrown daggers, darts, and hand-crossbows to be used and gained the added bonus.Granted, the ability doesn't list a range restriction (which implies that it was only meant for use in melee) but I would assume that any rational DM (if he allowed it to be used at a range) would restrict it to 30'... just like any of the other similar abilities.Taking all of this in perspective, 10 levels of duelist seems like a lot to give up for only gaining +2d6 to damage with a hand-crossbow...</blockquote>
