Bears with hands

[Spuddles]

Is there a magic item anywhere that would let my bear warrior hold use his great axe while being a bear?

[Marnath]

Gloves of Man, Savage Species. They're pretty expensive at 42,000gold though. It's also a 3.0 book.

Well, if anyone has the right to bear arms, it's bears. :smalltongue:

Sorry, but I think what you're looking for here is the right to arm bears.

Don't they come that way?

[Rubik]

What, you don't want to kill people with your bear hands?

[Urpriest]

A better solution might be a Mouthpick Weapon (Lords of Madness). If you have a bite attack you can wield a Mouthpick Weapon in your mouth. You even automatically get proficiency, so it can be something fun like a Spiked Chain. Only a +1 equivalent too, likely cheaper than Gloves of Man.

The mental image is rather . . .amusing.

opposable weapon enchantment from masters of the wild. pictures an owlbear with a longbow, so i assume your bear can hold an axe. that being said, how do you plan to stand and wield it properly? (i get you could rear up)

EDIT: it says ranged on the chart, but nowhere in the description does it say it has to be a ranged weapon, so that one might be up to you and your DM.

You could always look in the A&EG for the khopesh of the loyal minion and use the MIC rules to take the enhancement from that weapon and stick on a new one. FYI, the KotLM allows a weapon's enhancements to go on your natural weapons.

I doubt the enhancements are the primary concern, those can be gotten with just a Necklace of Natural Attacks.

Oh wait a minute, what about a Mouthpick Necklace of Natural Attacks? How would that work?

This is only semi-related: what happens if you wilding clasp a weapon?

[nedz]

I'm guessing that an awakened bear druid who wildshaped into a bear could weild a war axe if it had wilding clasps, but not he didn't wildshape ?

[Ravens_cry]

Where does it say that Wildshape lifts the Druidic weapon restrictions?:smallconfused:

Druids don't have weapon restrictions, only armor.

[Ravens_cry]

Druids don't have weapon restrictions, only armor.My mistake, though they are only proficient with certain weapons.
But in that case, why put a clasp on it? Just give it to a friend, and they can give it to you when you wild shape.

Fair point, he would need to acquire the relevant proficiency or take a -4 to hit.

But then he couldn't use it because he doesn't have hands :smallbiggrin:

Well, true, except for the variety of options shown here for acquiring hands or otherwise been able to use weapons that would otherwise require them
