[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7616809, member: 12731"] Not sure which suggested rule you're thinking of here. The biggest problem with TWF from a game optimization standpoint is how it monopolizes the bonus action. A fair chunk of minmaxing as you level out of the low levels is putting the bonus action to good use. For everybody except level 11+ fighters that takes you from 2 to 3 attacks; a whopping 50% potential you can't afford not to exploit. Any real solution to TWF must imo have that in mind. In other words, TWF must no later than level 11 no longer hog your bonus action. That's the minimum bar that needs to be cleared, or TWF must be boosted sufficiently to take reasonable min-maxing into account. (However, this latter approach is less fun - who wants the game to make your build decisions for you?) Obviously it would be preferable if TWF could be redesigned (in a balanced way) to *never* require the bonus action. [/QUOTE]
