Dagger of Hotek combined with Beastmaster's Scourge

Post by Liquidedust »

Trying to wrap my head around this proper.

Can you or can you not combine Dagger of Hotek with a beastmaster's Scourge for.

Additional Attack (obviously only once)
Armour Piercing
Always Strike First

Since they changed how Beastmaster's Scourge was reclassified I am leaning towards no (and makes the scourge points wasted unless your opponent has items that negate magic items).

However I am doubting myself and my own reasoning to a certain degree.

They do not combine at all. Check the "I'm Using This One" rule at the beginning of the magic items section of the main rule book.

Aware of that rule, but prior to the reclassification of the Scourge it was a mundane weapon that counted as a hand weapon in addition to its other rules. And these days it is just a special weapon that uses one hand, still it is probably what my gut feeling told me and they aren't possible to combine anymore.

the old beastmaster scourge counted as a add hand weapon not a regular one.
only a mundane hand weapon is a mundane hand weapon and you always get it for free


All weapons that are not magical are mundane per the rules though. And the scourge was a mundane weapon in the past, well still is, and counted as an additional hand weapon then which made it a mundane hand weapon. But as people has pointed out it no longer counts as a hand weapon just a mundane weapon.

Edit: Odd where did flash29's post I replied to go . . .

He probably deleted it. You can delete your own post as long as it is the last post in a thread.
