[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 6604086, member: 6779310"] Let's see... [table][tr][td]Item[/td][td]Dual Wielder[/td][td]+2 Dex[/td][/tr] [tr][td]To Hit modifier[/td][td]+0[/td][td]+1[/td][/tr] [tr][td]AC change[/td][td]+1[/td][td]+0 (Heavy Armor; or, Dex 14+ and medium armor) or +1 (Light Armor; or dex ≤13 & medium armor)[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Draw 2 weapons[/td][td]1 interaction[/td][td]2 interactions or 1 interaction +1 action[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Allowed Weapons[/td][td]1h-non-light and 1h-light or 2x 1h-light[/td][td]2x 1h-light[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Damage Change[/td][td]+1 average from die-increase[/td][td]+1 from attribute mod[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Damage Max Change[/td][td]+2 from die-increase[/td][td]+1 from attribute mod[/td][/tr] [tr][td]Crit Damage Change[/td][td]+2 average from die-increase[/td][td]none[/td][/tr] [/table] The dual wielder gets more AC if they are a medium or heavy armor wearer. And if they are a dex-fighter, theyr'e going to already be maxed for medium, too, so the advantage is the dual wielder for anyone who wears medium or heavy armor. Also, the drawing bonus means being able to make use of the extra damage NOW rather than next turn. So one extra attack. (not per round, just the one.) There's no adding an attribute to the extra attack either way. The crit damage increases on average by 1 (above non crit change) due to the increase in sides on the extra die. Rogue's sneak attack bonus damage is a wash either way - it only adds to one attack. So, not quite the same bonuses. [/QUOTE]
