Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shirt Guy John" data-source="post: 705379" data-attributes="member: 2356">I'm constructing a double-sword wielding fighter (and getting help in the rules forum), and someone suggested a Double Weapon Fighting feat from Ultimate feats or somesuch, which gives ambidexterity and two-weapon fighting for all double weapons (but only double weapons).  While I agree with the feat in that it should be easier for a double weapon fighter to fight with each end of his weapon, I don't think this is how to achieve it...I would think that in gaining proficiency with a weapon you would learn how to wield it in an optimal manner.  Thus, I was thinking of house ruling all double weapons (which are almost all exotic) so that if a wielder possesses the proficiency with the weapon, he is treated as if he possessed the Two-Weapon Fighting feat in regards to that weapon (and that weapon only), and that he can then take feats with Two-Weapon Fighting as a prerequisite, but only use those feats with double-weapons that he has proficiency with.I just think that ambidexterity is deffinately not a feat that should be applicable to only some weapons... it's more a trait than a weapon-specific skill.  Double weapons are (to me at least) not quite as efficient as fighting with two weapons, and I think that this changes that fact, putting double-weapons on par with other exotic weapons.Anyone have any advice or input?</blockquote>
