Note that he only loses some damage compared to waraxes on his off-hand attack.Yup. Most Beastmaster builds I have seen tend to go for big two-handed weapon attacks, but then the Ugrosh can do that and still function as a double weapon.The problem is, you cannot specialize in heavy thrown. It only works on melee basic attacks by RAW, meaning that all your powers will still work with Dexterity rather than Strength. If you're willing to house-rule this, then yes, I think that's viable.Here's an example from the Character Builder. You didn't really suggest a level, so I'm going to go for level 6.====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ======level 6Dwarf, RangerFighting Style: Two-Blade Fighting StyleFINAL ABILITY SCORESStr 18, Con 16, Dex 10, Int 10, Wis 17, Cha 8.STARTING ABILITY SCORESStr 17, Con 14, Dex 10, Int 10, Wis 14, Cha 8.AC: 21 Fort: 19 Reflex: 15 Will: 17HP: 58 Surges: 9 Surge Value: 14TRAINED SKILLSDungeoneering +13, Perception +11, Nature +11, Endurance +13, Athletics +11UNTRAINED SKILLSAcrobatics +2, Arcana +3, Bluff +2, Diplomacy +2, Heal +6, History +3, Insight +6, Intimidate +2, Religion +3, Stealth +2, Streetwise +2, Thievery +2FEATSLevel 1: Dwarven Weapon TrainingLevel 2: Expert TrackerLevel 4: Armor Proficiency (Chainmail)Level 6: Weapon Expertise (Axe)POWERSRanger at-will 1: Twin StrikeRanger at-will 1: Hit and RunRanger encounter 1: Off-Hand StrikeRanger daily 1: Jaws of the WolfRanger utility 2: Yield GroundRanger encounter 3: Disruptive StrikeRanger daily 5: Frenzied SkirmishRanger utility 6: Weave Through the FrayITEMSLifedrinker Urgrosh +2, Cloak of the Walking Wounded +1, Dwarven Chainmail +1====== Copy to Clipboard and Press the Import Button on the Summary Tab ======Other feats you might find useful for this build are Scale Armor proficiency, Two-Weapon Fighting and Defense, and (on Paragon) Deadly Axe.</blockquote>
