Odd but legal?

[Moon-Lancer]

It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly, a sword drew out!

hahaha.

subtle indeed.

I cant tell if your making fun of me or someone else, but its still funny

 

[Hypersmurf]

It's still your turn to explain how 2 is defined as 1.

I'm not entirely sure what you're after, here. Two isn't one. Why does it need to be?

-Hyp.

-Hyp.

I think what he means is: How can you fight with 2 weapons, with only 1 weapon?

 

[Hypersmurf]

I think what he means is: How can you fight with 2 weapons, with only 1 weapon?

I've got three weapons!

The longsword and two different daggers.

And during any given attack, I have a second weapon in my off-hand.

-Hyp.

 

[hong]

I've got three weapons!

No, I count a longsword and a longsword.

The longsword and two different daggers.

Which you are holding, not using.

And during any given attack, I have a second weapon in my off-hand.

Which you must use to gain the benefit of TWF.

I still see no alcohol here.

 

[Hypersmurf]

Which you must use to gain the benefit of TWF.

I am, when I make my off-hand attacks.

-Hyp.

 

[hong]

-Hyp.

Not if I count a longsword, and a longsword.

I still see no alcohol here.

Your penalties on attack rolls for fighting with two weapons are reduced

Hmm, long sword, dagger, dagger...

Well, looks like your three weapon fighting puts you at -10 for all those offhand attacks.

English is a fun language.

Then the same thing applies to a dagger thrower.

[UnsocialEntity]

I really hope I didn't miss something important in pages 4-6... sorta had to skip to the end, heh.

Buuuut, from the SRD for two weapon fighting:
You can fight with a weapon in each hand. You can make one extra attack each round with the second weapon.

When you make your offhand attacks with the longsword that was previously in your main hand, it's not a "second weapon". Sure, you have a weapon in your main hand and your offhand the entire time, but you're striking with the same weapon, so it doesn't qualify.

Also from SRD:
If you wield a second weapon in your off hand, you can get one extra attack per round with that weapon

If you switch the long sword from your main hand (say right), to your offhand (left), your left hand remains your offhand. Therefore, when you go to make your offhand attack, you're no longer wielding a second weapon in your offhand, you're wielding the same weapon in your offhand.
