Even Combat Reflexes only gives you an additional Opportunity attack (not a defense). So at most you'll be using your dice 3 times, once on your turn when you attack, once on an opponents turn if they attack you (or an ally), and once on an (separate) opponents turn if they provoke. At first I was thinking Deflect was making light weapons much better than shields for this same reason, but then I realized Deflect will only be good until you can overwhelm their damage with your Parry dice. So daggers are better for low level fighters than shields are.This is rules-lawyer territory:Dual Wielding is a really powerful feat. Due to the wording of making two attacks, if you have Dual Wielding feat and are not wielding a light weapon you get your bonuses to damage on both weapons (since it only removes the bonus damage from your light weapon).I hope it is true that Two-Weapon Defense will work for people using shield, since it is a weapon you'll have proficiency with. You'll need two-weapon fighting to attack with both it and your main hand weapon though, unless your main hand is light.</blockquote>
