Because these issues will likely come up with the Ranger I am going to play in a 4e game shortly:
1) Since an unarmed strike is listed as a 1-handed weapon, and a ranger can dual-wield 1-handed weapons, could I dual-wield unarmed strikes? I can't find anything that says I can't do this, and if I ever lose (by any means) even 1 of my 2 weapons most of my powers will be unusable, so I gotta know this for sure.
2) Do defense bonuses from Predator hide armor stack? Basically the text of the armor says that when you hit the enemy you have your hunter's quarry on you get +x (x scales with quality of armor) to all defenses against attacks made by that enemy until the end of your next turn. That bonus is untyped, so if I hit the enemy 3 times would the defense bonus stack 3 times? Or does it not stack because it is from the same source?
Also some DDI character builder ranting/questions....
I encountered these issues and I wonder if they are bugs or if the rules have been changed:
1) I am dual-wielding bastard swords, and one of them is a Farbond sword. It basically can be used as a heavy thrown weapon. However, my OTHER bastard sword (a Harmony one, though I dont think that makes a difference) is also listed as being a thrown weapon. I think this is a bug, or is it?
2) Heavy thrown weapons still use strength instead of dexterity for attack and damage rolls right? I ask this because on DDI my ranged attacks (all with a heavy thrown weapon) are still listed as using dex. Is this a bug too?
