When done with a 2Hand weapon, must both hands be free? Does it go through, or do you fumble around?
(Specifically, I'm looking at a Bard holding both Runestaff & Shield.)

If it can be done, is the effectiveness at all reduced thereby?

Because it's a runestaff, and I'm using magic ranks/level for defense, no, I don't need 2Hand ranks. It never gets use for physical attacks, but I saw someone mention 'Feint while Tonis' and that means I'm out of RT while they're still in a minimum of 2s more.

Basically, is the success a function of ranks of knowledge in the CMan, or ranks of knowledge with the weapon type? :)

Responses like this are only helpful if there's either a link to the page referenced or a copy/paste of the text. If someone like Krakii is asking the question, it's a good bet that they've already looked at any obvious places on the wiki and haven't found anything. Worse, if it's a newbie, it gives them the impression that we're just a bunch of jerks and does nothing to encourage them to stick around.

SET a man on fire, he's warm for the rest of his life....

Go grab you a wand and a rank or two and give it a shot! Oh, and let us know. . .

One of my favorite micro-brew beers has a lovely saying on it: "Tis better to curse the darkness than to light thy hand on fire."

Learning the weapon (e.g. THW) is irrelevant as far as I can tell. I would expect learning wspec on a runestaff to give you a bonus.

Ok, maybe that doesn't help - I forgot I'm trained in other weapon types.

I laughed at this.

Telling Krakii to search on Wikipedia is a rough equivalent to telling Larry Page and Sergey Brin to "google it".

<cman feintYou can't wield a crystal-set rosewood runestaff very well with just one hand.>

The funny thing is, I logged my sorcerer in right before work to do a quick test and it turns out you can ATTACK with a runestaff with an item in the other hand:

>glanc
You glance down to see a black carmiln crosier curling around a carved smoke wisp in your right hand and a white flask in your left hand.
>atta
You swing a black carmiln crosier at a rolton!
AS: +28 vs DS: +28 with AvD: +10 + d100 roll: +94 = +104
... and hit for 1 point of damage!
Thumped the rolton's chest.
Roundtime: 8 sec.
