"the Combat section that states that if you use a second weapon to attack beyond your normal sequence of iterative attacks, that counts as two-weapon fighting." So what if I dont want the extra attack, am i still twf?What in the rules says you cannot use a glaive and spiked armor as apart of your iterative attacks? What part of the rules talk about how to ready a weapon to do stuff with that weapon? Holding the weapon usaly is sufficient, but you dont hold a gauntlet or armor spikes. In the armor spikes section it says this (You can’t also make an attack with armor spikes if you have already made an attack with another off-hand weapon, and vice versa.)another offhand attack it says. if we are only using iterative attacks, then their is no offhand attack.  again, if you can cast spells with a two handed weapon, then you can surly take your hand off the weapon for a moment to attack with a spell, so whats limiting you to make an extra iterative attack?"I seem to be missing the "Soul Caliber" chapter in my PHB."you dont use motion video to influence your idea of combat? surly you jest. You have not been influenced by modern media in d&d thematics? I hope for your sake that you get out more, the art in the d&d books is stifling to say the least. Im sure even you have been influenced by something in lord of the rings. what ha sent? You assume that because i mention a particular animation that it must correspond to some rule or what have you. No this is not the case. But thematics or cinematics should be used when no apparent rules exist in such a case as this. You will not beable to find a rules the proves me wrong, yet i do not think that I could fully support my view with the rules as well. But i can proved much circumstantial evidenced based on what d&d stats about offhands and wielding weapons. You assume that there is some action that is requred to switch between weapons. This is a very specific citation of how the rules work. Were is this located? Being a student in animation, Im going to usaly default on the side with the most affluent combat gestures, rather then stiff on off combat.</blockquote>
