[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 2304499, member: 6562"] I've only skimmed the thread, so sorry if this has been covered before, but ... isn't it kinda obvious that TWF has an advantage in # of attacks, while 2HW has the advantage in raw damage output? Thus, shouldn't the TWF guy seek things that favor his strengths -- lots of attacks -- rather than try to ALSO gain the 2HW guy's only advantage? Things That Are Better With Lots of Attacks: 1/ Wounding (and ability damage in general) 2/ Poison (and anything else that triggers a save or two) 3/ Energy damage (and non-multiplied dice damage in general, including Sneak Attack) 4/ Things that trigger, but do not multiply, on a Crit (Keen Flaming Burst / Shocking Burst / Thundering Kukri) Attacks can do lots of things besides just HP damage. 2HW is better for just doing damage, but TWF might be better for everything else. Especially poison. :) -- N [/QUOTE]
