Rangers, of course, can use at-will abilities to attack with two weapons, and that's fine, but I miss creating Fighters and Rogues with the same ability. The Feats for TWF presented in the PHB are excellent but not enough, in my opinion.And so in the DMG I ran across the statblock for Barstomun Strongbeard on page 200. He's a pugilist who can make a quick punch as a Minor Action along with his normal punch standard action and it occurred to me that this would be an excellent way to make a feat to allow attacks with an offhand weapon. As a Minor Action it would not always be available as there are some nice things you can do with your Minor Action now, but when it was available it would be great. So, what do you think? Would making a Feat to allow an offhand attack as a Minor Action be too overpowered? Requirements could be Light Blade, Dex 15, and maybe a -2 to the attack (but not your main attack)? I'm just looking for some opinions as I like the idea but am biased and want to make sure I'm not overlooking something. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
