    If you have a power that does multiple melee attacks- say, for example, Brutal Barrage- can you use a weapon in one hand for one attack and a weapon in the other hand for another? I'm not talking about getting extra attacks- just whether you could make the three attacks with different weapons.
    A51 According to the Compendium:

    Attack: Constitution vs. AC. Make the attack three times.

    Hit: Constitution modifier damage.

    That means that there is no weapon attack involved. Just the fact that you use the weapon in character doesn't mean that you do the weapon's damage. My guess for describing this would be saying you use the flat edge of the blade. If you just mean in general, I would say no, because it says "make the attack three times".

    How am I the tactician when my answers specified enchantment !?

    78% of DM's started their first campaign in a tavern. If you're one of the 22% that didn't, copy and paste this into your signature.

    Where did you start yours?

    I started in a ruined castle with a tiefling warlock attacking.Hack and slash party
