[QUOTE="Sejs, post: 933219, member: 4910"] Doh, I knew I forgot something! I forgot to make the primary/longsword a throwing/returning weapon and use Rapid Shot. Thanks for the reminder, Loki~ ^_^ Artoomis: There are no Close Combat Only weapons in 3e. A monk threatens everywhere within 5' of him with all parts of his body. So do Armor Spikes. Armor Spikes and a Spiked Gauntlet are not synonymous - they're two seperate weapons with two seperate proficiencies required to use 'em. Spiked Gauntlets are a simple weapon that you use with a punching motion; Armor Spikes are a martial weapon that are more complicated to use (forearm bash, shoulder check, elbow, knee, etc). A suit of armor with Armor Spikes doesn't include Spiked Gauntlets - you'd have to buy them seperatly. This says that Armor Spikes don't involve the use of your hands, which is why they're more difficult to use than just a normal unarmed strike. Your hands do not always have to be involved in the use of a weapon - a Spiked Small Shield still lets you hold something in the hand the shield is on. Blade Boots don't require your hands to be free. [/QUOTE]
