[QUOTE="Question, post: 2968894, member: 40104"] I disagree with the champion of correllan PRC. It is a very nice concept, but other than getting dex bonus to damage, it is not very effective.....unless you are playing a LA race with + dex it is near impossible to get a +6 dex mod, AND have decent str/con to survive as a frontline fighter(okay maybe if you get insane rolls as well.), not to mention 13 int to get combat expertise, and the weird mounted combat requirements make no sense, as being able to move full speed in heavy armor is completely negated by using a mount. After all is said and done its still more effective to pump str for damage and to hit, rather than spending a feat(Weapon finess), and going into the class to gain 1x damage bonus based on the dex stat, and being forced to spend lots of feats on something you will mostly never use anyway. Also corellan's blessing is only useful for stabilizing dying PCs when the cleric is out of spells or something. It would be more useful if it was based on character level. That said i think that double weapons are better than dual wielding something. -You get 1.5x str bonus with one hand -In the unlikely event you need to draw weapons it counts as one weapon instead of 2. -It counts as a 2 handed weapon for disarms, etc. If we compare dual wielding 2 longswords vs a 2 bladed sword the 2 bladed sword is clearly superior. Taking EWP instead of of oversized 2WF is pretty much the same thing. However if you want to go Thinblade/Light blade, thats also do-able, but your damage will be fairly low, even if you have high str, which im guessing you dont. The spring attack feat completely kills 2WF unless you take full levels in the tempest class however, as it negates the only benefit you have(many attacks in a full attack). [/QUOTE]
