It just seems to me that fighting with two weapons is usually inferior to using a two-handed weapon and all these feats have such an opportunity cost that the two-handed weapon fighter is using to improve his ability to fight. Basically, I would word the Two-Weapon Fighting Feat like this:TWO-WEAPON FIGHTING [GENERAL]You can fight with a weapon in each hand. You can make extra attacks each round with the second weapon.Prerequisite: Dex 15.Benefit: Your penalties on attack rolls for fighting with two weapons are reduced. The penalty for your primary hand lessens by 2 and the one for your off hand lessens by 6. If you have a high enough base attack bonus for extra attacks, you may make extra attacks with your off hand as you do with your primary hand.Normal: If you wield a second weapon in your off hand, you can get one extra attack per round with that weapon. When fighting in this way you suffer a –6 penalty with your regular attack or attacks with your primary hand and a –10 penalty to the attack with your off hand. If your off-hand weapon is light the penalties are reduced by 2 each. (An unarmed strike is always considered light.)Special: A 2nd-level ranger who has chosen the two-weapon combat style is treated as having Two-Weapon Fighting, even if he does not have the prerequisite for it, but only when he is wearing light or no armor.A fighter may select Two-Weapon Fighting as one of his fighter bonus feats.Honestly, I do not see how this would really cramp anyone's style. Two-weapon fighters are seen as inferior by everyone I know. Some people do it for style or to look like Drizz't, but power-gamers always choose the two-handed weapon. Has anyone else done this before? Results?</blockquote>
