Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tessarael" data-source="post: 1933986" data-attributes="member: 12909">Changing Two-Weapon FightingKeep in mind that these proposals were highly controversial. The thread on Sean Reynolds' boards is here:<a href="http://p082.ezboard.com/fseankreynoldsboardsfrm7.showMessage?topicID=574.topic" target="_blank">http://p082.ezboard.com/fseankreynoldsboardsfrm7.showMessage?topicID=574.topic</a>The basic idea is to make fighting with two weapons work the same way as fighting with a single weapon, or weapon and shield, or a two-handed weapon. i.e. You don't get any extra attacks for fighting with two weapons. The trade-off between the styles is essentially the following:(a) fighting with a single weapon (inferior for offense and defense)(b) fighting with weapon and shield, better than (a) for defense(c) fighting with a two-handed weapon, better than (a) for offense(d) fighting with two weapons, somewhere between (b) and (c) - i.e. better offense, but not as good as (c), and better defense, but not as good as (b)Now let me get into the details ...Remove the following feats==========================Greater Two-Weapon Fighting, Improved Shield Bash, Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, Two-Weapon Defense, Two-Weapon FightingRules changes============When wielding two weapons:1. Wielding two weapons does not give any extra attacks, nor does it give an attack penalty.2. Pick either weapon as your primary weapon. (With that weapon you get the same number of attacks and do the same damage as if you were wielding only that weapon single-handed.)3. You get a +1 dodge bonus to AC as you can defend better.4. You may use your secondary weapon to provide other non-attack benefits (e.g. the Defending property).New feats=========Two-Weapon StylePrerequisities: Dex 15Benefit:(a) You gain +1 dodge bonus to AC when wielding two weapons. (As with other dodge bonuses, this stacks with the +1 dodge bonus to AC for wielding two weapons).(b) When wielding two weapons, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to Bluff checks when feinting in combat.(c) When wielding two weapons, you gain a +4 (untyped) bonus on attempts to disarm your opponent. (However, there is no benefit when an opponent attempts to disarm you.)</blockquote>
