This situation came up:
A rules lawyer obtained the wrathborn wand and elected to use it in a battle.
The wrathborn wand has the following abilities: It adds one to craft in psychic combat, and as a secondary ability, if your attack roll is less than your craft, you may roll an additional die and add this to your attack roll.
We had never previously had anyone attempt to use the wand in battle and so ruled against this, as it is thematically a "craft weapon" and I am a social conservative who abhors change.
However, the rules lawyer has a valid point. There does not appear to be any rule stating that you cannot use craft based weapons in battles, and the secondary effect on the wand triggers off the attack roll, which does not appear to specify battle or psychic combat.
This would obviously make the wand a guaranteed better weapon than any +1 str weapon if your craft is higher than about 4+.
I would like to hear others thoughts on this as to how you would have ruled.
