Does the Master at Arms
[ddi] feat work for Shields?
Benefit: You gain a +1 feat bonus to the attack rolls of weapon attacks. The bonus increases to +2 at 11th level and +3 at 21st level. Also, you can use a minor action to sheathe a weapon and then draw a weapon.
I tend to think No, as the Compendium entry about Weapons
says ...
Weapon Many martial powers, as well as several divine powers, can be used only if you’re wielding a weapon. (You can use an unarmed attack as your weapon.) A weapon’s reach or range determines the reach or range of a power it’s used with.
and Shields
don't have a Reach
, and it takes a Standard Action
to stow or equip, rather than the Minor Action
for a Weapon
backquote
game-specific nouns, the DDI compendium is not a game specific noun in context of the other nouns so indicated. Backquoting it just makes things confusing. \$\endgroup\$
