But then Jimlock posted those three links which... uh... seem to undermine his own point <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />Here I understand that you have to declare attacking with both hands during your full attack for there to be two-weapon penalties. It probably makes sense when considering that, technically, either a torch or a shield are considered light weapons (?). If such penalties weren't voluntarily assumed ("I want to attack with my sword and then bash with my shield"), then everybody would suffer them just by having a shield on their off hand. Previous paragraphs seem to support the same idea, although...Whoa whoa what? I assumed you'd have to declare the intention of using either one or two hands before the attack. Retroactively changing the result this way seems weirdWhoatOkay, now. Where did this come from? ;_; Attacking with ONLY the weapon in off hand also grants a penalty? If so, I'm not sure how normal iterative attacks would be done using the weapon in off hand...</blockquote>
