Does Thunderclap make a melee staff ranged, and how does it work when dual wielding?

Question

Accepted Answer

No. Thunderclap is its own ranged weapon. Dual wielding needs the same stat and range, so attacking in melee with Thunderclap and a Wisdom staff lets the attack use Thunderclap's Lethal.
