[QUOTE="The_Nighthawk, post: 1340043, member: 16406"] [b]well[/b] Some stuff where thrown in here and there. I am sleepy so I will try to make it short. A 32 point buy fighter with a greataxe and power attack will always be more dangerous at fighting than a 32 point buy fighter dual wielding with the three two weapon fighting feats and the two weapon defence feat. It was calculated by various person on the wizards of the coast board using spreadcheats and it shows that despite the increased cost of the two weapon user in term of weapons, feats, and skills, he will deal in average less damage than the greataxe wielder with only the expenditure of one feat. While the fighter with two shortswords will need to spend 4 feats just to keep up, the the other will have only one to spend, power attack, able the to select 3 others useful feats like weapon focus and specialization. Strangely, the rogue are the one that benefits the most from two weapon fighting. Since when the most difficult fighting style is more dangerous in the hand of a rogue than in the hand of a skillfull and dextrous fighter ? That's what I am complaining about. The stuff about the dinosaurs and others things are too far away to got my attention tonight. That's why I want to change the TWF rules in my world. By the way, anyone with good ideas on the things ?
