Sword Cane Pistol Finesse?


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

1) Is the Sword part of the Sword Cane Pistol usable with Weapon Finesse, like the Sword Cane?

2) Does the Sword Cane Pistol treat each end different, in regards to feats, like Weapon Focus?


For one, I'd say yes.
For two, I'd say it's different for feats.

Would the answer to #2 apply to the Axe Musket, Warhammer Musket, and Pistol Dagger?

Grand Lodge

Would proficiency be separate?


I think for #2 no. They are double weapons, like two-bladed sword or Orc double axe

Grand Lodge

No, they don't have the Double weapon quality.

You price them as double weapons for enchantments, and masterwork or special material prices. That's it.

They are not double weapons.


Sorry, meant like double weapons. No, only one feat for proficiency, one for weapon focus. You don't have to take two weapon focuses for a Dwarven Uragosh, because one end is a axe and one end is a spear. So why here? That is just stupid. The exotic weapons proficiency covers fight with these weapons both as range or melee. The penalty for these firearms is if the gun breaks so does the sword/axe/hammer.


But that is my ruling on it. And how I understand the RAW to be.

So, no finesse for the Sword Cane pistol?

Is the Pistol Dagger still usable with Weapon Finesse?

If there is no language that says it can be finnessable (rapier), or it isn't a light weapon, then it can't be finnessed.

The Sword Cane can be finessed.

My question, is if the Sword Cane part, of the Sword Cane Pistol, functions as a Sword Cane, and can be used with Weapon Finesse.

Does that make sense?

Considering the description says it mixes a coat pistol with a sword cane, yes. It's no different than the Flambard and the Bastard Sword as far as I can tell.

Grand Lodge

So, the Sword Cane end can be enchanted with the Agile enchantment?

What about the Dagger end of a Dagger Pistol?

Yes.

Assuming the Dagger end functions like any other Dagger pistol, it also applies, since a Dagger can be weapon finnessed.

Grand Lodge

I wish there was a more official word on how these weapons function.

Grand Lodge

Any thing new?

Grand Lodge

Dang, I really want to know for sure if I can ever have an Agile Sword Cane Pistol, or even an Agile Pistol Dagger.
