Odd but legal?

[The Souljourner]

I think it's one of those things that is technically legal by the rules but no DM in his right mind would ever allow it.

>>Longspear, baby. In my adventuring days, they used to call me "Ten Foot Pole".

Because they used you to touch stuff, or because you used it to touch stuff?

Would it be reasonable to let a twf work with one weapon (light) instead of two, if the attacks are at -3 instead of -2? kind of like a flurry?

 

[Ridley's Cohort]

Not by my definition of reasonable.

This is just an artifact of simulataneous actions being resolved sequentially. Arguably, you are not actually "two weapon fighting" unless you are wielding two weapons. But the rules allow you to resolve one attack, (5' step if want to), then resolve the second attack. Thusly the mechanics make the two attacks appear to be completely independent.

What Ridley's Cohort said. The rules are a model of (some version of) reality. The model is not perfect, because no models are perfect.

Funniest Rules Forum thread ever! *lol*

The fact that you thought of this while urinating fills me with great dread.

In that case, I won't tell you what I was REALLY doing, the three common household pets involved, the name of the shop where I got the equipment or the non-profit organization where it occurred.

Note that Two Weapon Fighting applies "If you are wielding a second weapon in your off-hand".

You aren't; you're wielding the first weapon in your off-hand.

Note that you've also got a weapon in your off-hand when wielding a bastard sword in two hands. I'm pretty sure no one would even think of asking a DM to allow TWF with that setup.

You're wielding an unarmed strike in your off-hand, couldn't that work ?
