Single-weapon and two-handed weapon to all four groups, and weapon & shield styles to warriors and priests.Single class warriors could specialize in unlimited styles, others were limited to a single style for specializing.Further, there was an additional option called “ambidexterity” which if a character used a weapon proficiency slot on, the off-hand penalty was eliminated, but by itself only applied to single weapon use. When combined with the TWF style specialization, you could use equal length weapons in both hands without any penalty. With only TWF specialization, you reduced the penalty from -2/-4 to 0/-2 and got the equal length weapon allowance. Rangers only had to spend a single slot to get the equal length weapon usage, as they already effectively had all the other benefits of TWF and ambidexterity.</blockquote>
