[QUOTE="Matthan, post: 6769549, member: 20005"] I'm not the best person to critique the work over all and it sounds like you're already getting great advice on that front. However, this jumped out at me as a problem. Moving the attack of the off hand weapon to be part of the attack action is a big deal. I feel like forcing TWF to use the Bonus action is a key part of balancing the option. As far as I can recall, there is no option in the RAW that would allow that so I would be very leery of allowing that in a homebrew. The part about drawing and stowing weapons is technically stealing a bit from the Dual Wielder feat (which I know you realize), but it's the part that only matters to the most serious DMs so it's not a personal concern for me. However, if you want it to be balanced to Core then I would keep that part out too. I'll be honest. I don't think TWF needs to be tweaked. It seems to work fine when I've seen it in play. If you did tweak it here, I would argue that you would need to tweak it everywhere else it appears as well (which is what house rules are for). [/QUOTE]
