[QUOTE="Zoelef, post: 1011342, member: 13158"] [i]Disclaimer: I have not played D&D in over a year, but I just purchased a 3.5 PHB and glossed over a 3.5 DMG.[/i] IIRC 3.5 Swords of Subtlety -> 22,310gp There are two main suggestions I have: First, I would pick up Twin-Sword Style [FRCS] over Dual Strike or ITWF: T-SS Gives a +2 armor bonus (stacks with all) vs. one opponent in melee with you. Defense = good. Secondly, I would go with 1 SoS and 1 +2 Short Sword: If you're fighting something you can't sneak the +2 goes to your 'good hand' where it does better than the SoS. If you move -> sneak, you can wield the SoS by itself with no real loss to the offhand sword...and, of course, if you're full-round sneaking, and it's a really hard-to-hit guy, you can attack with the SoS by itself (right?) [I]Aside: Weapon in each hand, Twin-Sword Style. Am I allowed to attack with only one weapon? If so, can I still apply the bonus? (Apologies for the aside, but the more I think about it the more I'd like to know.)[/I] This saves you over 14k, to boot. 2/3 * 110k ~= 70-75k --------- Once again, I haven't played in a long time and it's a changed system, so there's a good chance I've made various egregious errors.
