I think maybe you only ready the last couple of posts. The rest of the thread (from last summer) is all about that question.Majestic wrote:
I'm wondering if I should even allow him to use this feature in close combat. The weapon qualifies as a ranged weapon, but it doesn't say that the feature only works when using it that way.
My answer is yes:
- It's so lame as to be cruel to give a player an enchanted weapon and then say, "You can only use it once per combat."
- The only time it's really an advantage is at low skill level, when high TNs are hard to reach and a close combat hero has the option of going Forward Stance.
- I believe it truly is RAW: the rules only say that a ranged weapon is required, and spears are ranged weapons. It says nothing about making a ranged attack.
