[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 284983, member: 2011"] Yeah, I know. I just felt like charging full bore today. You and I haven't had a donnybrook is SO long. :) That could be one meaning of that phrase and probably is. But, it does state that, hence, it can be used to support my position. Opps. You keep changing the words. The actual words are: "becomes a weapon with a +1 enhancement bonus to attack and damage rolls that deals 1d10 points of damage" "damage rolls that deals 1d10 points of damage" A D10/D10 weapon is one with "damage rolls that deals 1d10 points of damage". Each attack is counted separately on a double weapon. Each attack does X damage, not X/Y. It does not explicitly state that it "becomes a weapon that does 1D10 damage" which might imply that it becomes a single weapon (like you keep changing the words to). Rather, it explicitly states that it "becomes a weapon with … damage rolls that deals 1d10 points of damage" which is just as valid a phrase for a D10/D10 double weapon as it is for a D10 single weapon. The phrase "a quarterstaff is a weapon with damage rolls that deals 1D6 points of damage" would not conflict with the D6/D6 damage in the chart or the definition of quarterstaff being a double weapon. It merely states what the damage will be, not whether or not it is a double weapon. Since the phrase used is just as valid for both types of weapons (single and double) and it does not explicitly state that it changes it to a single weapon, it must not. Your turn. ;) [/QUOTE]
