D&D (2024) Dual Wielding

[Shardstone]

Personally I think opening it up with "When you make an extra attack with an offhand weapon, such as with a bonus action or as part of the Nick Weapon Mastery, you can add your Ability modifier to the damage of that attack if you aren't already."

Then get rid of Dual Wielder (the feat) since Fighting Styles are just feats now.

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 to the damage.

No that’s the style. I mean the rules for two weapon fighting.

Can someone quote the two weapon fighting rules?

In the starting post of this thread.

There is no 'two-weapon fighting rule', there is only Light property, Nick, Dual-Wielder and TWF style that make it up.

"Enhanced Dual Wielding. When you take the Attack action on your turn and attack with a weapon that has the Light property, you can make one extra attack as a Bonus Action later on the same turn with a different weapon, which must be a Melee weapon that lacks the Two-Handed property. You don't add your ability modifier to the extra attack's damage unless that modifier is negative.

"Quick Draw. You can draw or stow two weapons that lack the Two-Handed property when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one."

Also your Str or Dex go up by +1, prerequisite is level 4 and Str or Dex 13+

I don't think 'off-hand' is a term that's used anywhere in the book now.

I’m confused. That’s the new dual wilder feat. Where’s the rules for two weapon fighting without the feat?

They either no longer exist or I can't find them. Don't see mention of it in the rules glossary or the combat section.

Under the Light weapon property.

To summarize.

Light: bonus action attack with no mod
Nick: Light doesn't take a bonus action
Dual Wielder: different bonus action attack with no mod.
Two Weapon Fighting Style: add mod to both Nick and Dual Wielder.

Okay. That’s helpful, but can I get the actual text for the light property?
