Woot...we're up to 19. Keep them coming.

Seems he is saying nothing has changed.

It functions much like the Boot Blade, Barbazu Beard, Dwarven Boulder Helmet, Ratfolk Tailblade, Kobold Tail Attachment, or Unarmed Strike.

Did rules team answer this somewhere?.

I don't see a FAQ entry here for the Core Rulebook, yet.

Likely cause they don't feel there is any ambiguity.

There's no reason to suspect that one needs a hand free to kick!

Agreed

Of all the "hands-free" weapons, Armor Spikes seems to get the most hate.

Makes no sense, and doesn't change how they function, but that's how it is.

Depending on the armor and PC, I tend to flavor it as a shoulder check, or pelvic thrust.

The pelvic thrust....really drives you insaaaaaane....!

Why have I just had a vision of a row of spiked armour-wearing undead, all doing the 'Timewarp'?

Armored Kilt, with Armor Spikes, needs a free hand for some DMs to use.

Not RAW, but some still do.

Slap on a pointy metal beard though, and those same DMs are totally cool with it.

I do suddenly want to build an Alchemist named Dr.Frankenfurter.

Umm this post that I originally asked you guys to +FAQ says its "Answered in the FAQ".

Where is this answer? I'm not seeing any red.
