A Potentially Silly Question [4e]
The RAW is a little vague. It says that you can't have two handlsot items functioning at the same time, as in gauntlets and a shield. But says nothing on arm slotted items functioning/not functioning with arm slotted items. (Silly question I know, but I'm not accutstomed to have two slots for the limbs.)
So does this mean that hand slot items and arm slot itmes both function at the same time? Such as Iron Armbands of Power and Bracers of Perfect shot, thus effectivley getting a +2 item bonus to ranged and melee damage?
EDIT: Also, what's the point of the Iron Armbands of Power? They're the bracers of mighty striking only 4 levels higher.Last edited by Fiendish_Dire_Moose; 2008-09-23 at 02:22 AM.

Re: A Potentially Silly Question [4e]
You can use an arm slot item with a hand slot item. If the armbands and the bracers both give an item bonus, though, they won't stack.

Re: A Potentially Silly Question [4e]
Bracers and Shields are Arm slots, gauntlets and gloves are Hand slots. You can have gauntlets and Bracers working together, but in your example, both are Arm slots and wouldn't work.

Re: A Potentially Silly Question [4e]
What is the point of mighty striking then ;)

Re: A Potentially Silly Question [4e]
I've not got my books on me, but just to clear things up for me, that part I emphasized: Basic attacks, or basic melee attacks.
If it's only Melee attacks, that's not super useful.
If it's all basic attacks, that means that Warlocks can apply it to their Eldritch Blast, since EB states it functions as a basic ranged when you want it to... but with different words.Check out a bunch of stuff I wrote for my campaign world of Oz.

Re: A Potentially Silly Question [4e]
Bracers of Mighty Strike are also useful if the Party Warlord is fond of Commander's Strike. But like mentioned, they're also good for Opportunity Attacks.
