Weapons as Implements...

[Klaus]

If you use a weapon as an implement, do you apply the weapon's properties?

For instance, if a swordmage uses a scimitar as an implement, does the High Crit apply on a critical hit?

Nope.

Using a Weapon as an Implement: If you’re able
to use a weapon as an implement, the weapon works
like a normal implement for you, but you use neither
the weapon’s proficiency bonus nor its nonmagical
weapon properties with your implement powers.

 

[Mr. Teapot]

Nonmagical weapon properties like Brutal or High Crit don't apply, but magical enhcantment properties can apply, depending on their wording.

Thanks!
