[QUOTE="Vrecknidj, post: 1661689, member: 7301"] Similarly, anyone can fight with two hands already. But, the penalties are a bit stiff. So, here's another house rule option: [B]Fighting Ambidextrously[/B] When fighting with two weapons (without the Two-Weapon Fighting feat), you add one-half of your Dex modifier (if positive) to your attacks with your primary hand, and one-quarter of your Dex modifier (if positive) to your attacks with your off hand. (If you have an 18 Dex, you add +2 to your primary and +1 to your secondary.) Any modifiers added in this way cannot result in lower penalties than those which result from having the Two-Weapon Fighting feat. However, if your Dex is high enough, you could, theoretically, end up with the same penalties (i.e. -2/-2 for having a light off-hand weapon; of course, that's an incredibly high Dex). Then again, for almost everyone this means no change to the off-hand weapon, and at best a +1 to the primary weapon. Dave [/QUOTE]
