[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5645053, member: 82106"] OK, doing some actual research here... 1) The creature will have both, effectively resist 10 cold for all practical purposes. 2) Monk attacks have the 'implement' keyword. Rules-wise if you use a dagger as an implement as a monk (note that this requires at least one feat) you can describe it however you want. Presumably you'd describe it as stabbing since using a dagger as an implement requires having it in your hand. How you describe things is however ultimately up to you. 3) Yes, the properties of a Jagged Weapon will apply to any attack made using it, regardless of whether it is an implement or a weapon power. So the Sorcerer would gain the 19-20 crit and the 10 ongoing damage on a critical hit. They are quite nice items. 4) Fighters ALWAYS mark anything they attack (unless you choose not to, you don't HAVE to mark).
