[QUOTE="two, post: 2303395, member: 9002"] And, arguably, with criticals as well. The THW fighter can either burn a feat which the TWF can't afford for Improved Critical, or with the money not spent on an extra weapon get a keen scabbard or the keen enchantment. Plus the obvious point that doing a lot of damage improves your critical damage bunches. A rare off-hand light weapon critical simply isn't adding much to the TWF's damage output. Since only about 50% of attacks are (being generous) full attacks, much of the time the TWF is moving and hitting once, i.e. not even getting multiple attacks for multiple chances of criticalling. Being able to make extra attacks, and getting criticals off them, is pretty tough to do, particularly if you depend on damage dice which don't multiply with a critical (unlike, well, the 2hw user). I've never, ever seen a TWF build that out-damaged a THF in terms of criticals, ever. (note feat disparity between TWF and THF builds and money disparity, and how this figures into it, as pointed out at the start). [/QUOTE]
