But the two weapon ranger was hard to pull off with standard rolling methods. Removing all penalties required 19 dex that only elves could achieve (if I remember correctly the rule). This meant that fighting with main hand and off hand penalties were common on two weapon fighting. Depending on the penalties, it was not worth the hassle.Demi-human restrictions were enforced but the secondary requirements were often base requirement + 1/superior level to be attained. So an elven ranger could reach 12th level max with 18 in the secondary stats (or about, I don't have my books with me). If single classed ranger,  you could go on an other 2 levels. Which was still quite reasonable at any table. Of course, with no restrictions on level from races, there would have been a lot more of two weapon fighting rangers.And yes, haste was a beast. Doubling your attacks was OP but at both the cost of getting older  by one year and dying of a system shock. Only elves were willing to use haste on a regular basis for the penalties on mature adults were not pleasant.</blockquote>
