D&D (2024) Dual Wielding

[fluffybunbunkittens]

Well, dual wielder feat you can make a bonus action attack with a long sword (meets all weapon requirements as long as your other weapon is light). It just won’t get mod per the dual wielder text. Same with a light weapon except TWF style covers that for dual wielder as well - so ultimately you get mod.

They are both extra attacks gained as a result of using a weapon with the Light property. Dual-Wielder triggers as a result of using a weapon with the Light property, so it gets the TWF style bonus, even if you're using it to two-hand a Versatile weapon.

Ah, misunderstood. Too much time spent on Reddit, where there's a no shortage of bad takes.

Or were you trying to say a long sword with dual wielder feat and a light weapon would get mod to the long sword bonus action dual wielder attack? Because I disagree with that.

Ah, so we are back in business!

TWF style says 'when you make an extra attack as a result of using a weapon that has the Light property, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of that attack if you aren't already adding it'. It does NOT say 'when you attack with a Light weapon'. Dual-Wielder triggers as the result of using a weapon with the Light property, so it qualifies.

Best as I read it.

TWF style only applies to Light property and by extension Nick.

Dual Wielder is its own completely separate attack. And is kind of niche as a feat.

Well I’m convinced. I’ve spent the last 30mins trying to find a better explanation and doesn’t seem one exists.

And what needs some clarification is using TWF on an action surge / haste.

TWF also would apply to the attack gained by dual wielder no matter what weapon was used for that attack. Seems they intentionally loosened up the language so it would apply.

Well I don't have the book yet, so...
