I have playtested this since it was an options or next and am quite happy with the rules as they stand.The current iteration is to use one action to roll 2 attacks that both deal half damage. This in practice is a good balance. I'm dealing the same damage as a one weapon teammate. However I'm more versitile being able to hit multiple targets.I was never a fan of TWF in previous iterations (3.5) of DnD because you needed to climb a large feat tree before you felt competent holding two weapons. The fact TWF is a featless option out of the gate , that feels good is pretty awesome and a big improvement IMHO.For some reason people want TWF to be more powerful than single weapon fighting yet not be over powered. This is always a weird idea to me. They want both weapons to deal normal damage, but when you take minuses to attack rolls they complain more than reducing damage.My only issue is that the same isn't applied to other offhand weapons. I think the shield is in this category. I feel like wielding shield and sword is just as hard as two swords. With sword and board The weilder has to maneuver both arms with the same awareness as a two weapon fighter. I'm not suggesting to lower the shields stats or lower attacks while wielding a shield. But instead make an option for maybe solo shield fighting were the shield can be a bit more powerful and shield bash is a viable option.</blockquote>
