[QUOTE="DrSpunj, post: 2213428, member: 994"] This is totally a [b]House Rule[/b] IMG, but after running some of these same numbers a year or so ago I changed the TWF feat chain pretty dramatically, and the changes have worked well: So, just by taking TWF you have just as many attacks with your off-hand as you do with your primary hand (which may be 1, 2, 3, or 4), and that increases appropriately as you gain more iterative attacks with a higher BAB. Improved TWF removes the -2/-2 penalty, just like Improved Rapid Shot does for that feat chain, and Greater TWF allows your full Str bonus to all attacks (though it may not be a very good feat for many PCs at 11th level or later when it becomes available). I have seen this in play on several occasions now and feel it greatly improves the TWF chain without overpowering things. Each feat offers something substantial (which is important to me, given the limited number of feats available for any PC) and as a whole don't "break" the system. Two-Handers don't feel cheated and Sword & Shield users find this allows them more feats to focus on making the most of their shield. Thanks. DrSpunj [/QUOTE]
