#Except where prohibited above, players may hold unwielded equipment in the same hand as wielded equipment in situations where it is blatantly and visually obvious which piece of equipment is in use and which one is not. If a player visually appears to have more equipment wielded than they are allowed, all the equipment in question is considered unwielded.

##Example 1: A player may wield a [[V9: Polearm|polearm]] two-handed while also holding an unwielded [[V9: Flail|flail]] in one of the supporting hands. The pole can be used as long as the flail is obviously not in action, and in order to use the flail the player would need to release the polearm from the flail hand.

##Example 2: If a player holds two [[V9: Short|short swords]] in the same hand then both would be considered unwielded because it would be too difficult for an opponent to tell which one the wielder is intending to use and which one is just being [[V9: Held|held]], regardless of their orientation.
