Both short and long, they cannot use composites. But, then the icon would be red.

And, Crowley, it would help us to know exact message and circumstances. Could you check it, please?

I will find a weapon, pick it up, now its in my inventory, its not shaded red.
I empty all my weapons slots and try to put the weapon there, all by itself, still it says out of hand.
It wont allow my bard to use a bow.
It lets me put arrows in the arrow slots, and it let me add proficiency in bows, yet I cannot use a bow even if the bow is my only possession.

Actually, I think it says, cannot use item, out of hand, or something.
I figured y'all would know what I was talking about.
perhaps I need to go back and dink with it some more.
Or is it a bug or something?

Do you have a shield equipped? If your shield spot is empty, and you still can't equip it's a bug - a wierd one I've never seen.
