[QUOTE="Danzauker, post: 4584424, member: 1929"] That's what I would do to, if else, for semplicity sake. The only problem I see with double swords is that they seem not to be designed with the tempest fighter on mind (or the othere way round, as you wish) but only for the ranger. A ranger can wield 2 one-handed weapons without penalties. Wielding a double sword is more or less the same. All other must wield an off-hand weapon in their (duh) off hand, which means usually a lower damage die. The bonus a tempest fighter gets on his off-hand attacks is there to level that penalty, just as being able to wield a (higher die) one-handed weapon is there for rangers. Just two ways to get basically the same effect. Having tempest fighters able to apply the bonus from the tempest technique feature to double weapons generate the "off-hand makes more damage than primary hand" sillyness. I, personally, would house rule the thing by altering double weapons like this: "If you have the Two Blade Fighting Style feature (like rangers) then double-weapons get the off-hand quality".
