Drizzt 'seemingly' uses dual scimitars with no penalty (or very little). Now i understand that with some 10fighter/5ranger/1 barbarian (or something of their abouts) he's base attack bonus works out fine. But what about when he only started using two-weapons (e.g. from the R.A. Salvatore books *bless that man*)Now, obviously, it was made only for story purposes, but the general question is "Why if your trained to use two swords e.g. 2 scimitars, 2 short swords, 2 longswords etc, is it that you suffer penalties for having in the case of longsword or scimitars an extra -2 penalty to melee attacks."Mainly this is because, a friend of mine wishes to create a Fey-ri Rogue, whos first feat is Two-Weapon fighting *we ruled out the Amibdexterity rule, as it's not used in D20 Modern, or Star Wars*. He wants to use 2 scimitars, and after reading the drizzt books, and seeing the real things, the scimitars (which are really one handed Falchions, though strong fellows (possibly monkey-grippers) have been known to hold one handed falchions) that you should get penalties with them. It's almost to a fact, that Scimitars should be considered small weapons, considering their damage, and size *thought weight would (and should) remain the same*...Sorry alittle about the rant, but i'd be interested in your opinons.Thanks ahead. *Cast's Darkness*</blockquote>
