Rereads...Technically you can't use TWF with a rapier...as it is not a light weapon.
Huh. I thought only the off- hand weapon had to be light. So no rapier + dagger in basic.
I wager there's a feat for that.

TWF Rangers should be interesting too, I'm sure they'll be able to dual-wield scimitars and the like.
My guess is they'll get a fighting style like bonus at 3rd, similar to Fighters. TWF version will probably be that only the off-hand weapon must be light. But that's just a complete guess on my part.TWF Rangers should be interesting too, I'm sure they'll be able to dual-wield scimitars and the like.
TWF rogue
the extra attack is a bonus action? this would make it a costlier option for rogues, I think.

That is a very good point actually, and I'm glad for it. Before, rogues would always go TWF as an optimal path. Now there is a trade off there, so I'm guessing you will see a rogue mix between the styles which is perfect imo.

Agree that it's a good design decision to open up more rogue alternatives. I just wish they'd defined sneak attack to work with all rogue weapons -- it would encourage more thuggish rogues to go the longsword route. As it stands, it would be foolish for a rogue to use a longsword, since you can't sneak attack with it, nor can you dual wield a second weapon that allows sneak attack.
