[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7829566, member: 6895991"] Since the most silly thing about twf is assuming it being faster than single weapon fighting (IRL it is the opposite since you would have to change stances, try it out yourself, put yourself in an imaginary pose) I am strongly against further powering its use. I normally houserule TWF can only be done with rapier dagger or maybe any combination of one or two daggers with shortswords The only realistic approach is to allow a "two weapons at the same time but two attack rolls" attack, so that maybe justifies the additional attack. Other than that, historically two weapon fighting was only done with rapier dagger, whereas the daggers main purpose was parrying, maybe get a lucky shot out of a weird position where the dagger is closer to the target than the rapier (which it normally never is) Fighting with two longer weapons was mostly done as a show off with more disadvantages for real combat than advantage, as said before you would have to change your foot stance each time you alternate to hit and the weapons would get in the way of each other making this style further useless.
