Message: <blockquote data-quote="FrankTrollman" data-source="post: 1187624" data-attributes="member: 14225">That's not inconsistent with the definition of wielded presented in the thrown weapons description. You pick up a chaotic dagger. You have a negative energy level. You throw it at someone, the negative energy level remains until after the action is resolved, then it's gone.It's used in a completely consistent manner. "Wield" means the same thing as "use". When you are throwing a dagger you are still "using" and "wielding" it until the action is resolved. So any bonuses or penalties you get when wielding or using that weapon apply to the attack roll, the damage roll, and any secondary effects of the attack. Then, when your next action comes up, you are no longer wielding or using that object because it has been imbedded into someone else's thigh.I understand that you don't like that it says that - and I don't care what you don't like. If you want to find some inconsistency - you are not going to have a difficult time. Just go through the Polymorph spells and we could be at this for days. But the use of the word "wield" in the D&D rules is completely consistent throughout the entire series of core books.-Frank</blockquote>
