[QUOTE="maddman75, post: 389477, member: 2673"] That is silly too. Dual weilding any weapons of the same length is silly. It was never done historically, because it wasn't an effiecient way to fight. You can do silly things like this in the rules, doesn't mean its a good idea or that we need feats encouraging it. The poll was asking for opinions on monkey grip. Mine is that its silly. The only dual weilding I like is either two light weapons, or rapier + dagger swashbuckler style. I don't allow it in my games. If playing in someone else's game I would never take it, and would make fun of anyone who did :). And damage wise, wouldn't you be just as well off using two short swords and power attacking for 2 each round (average damage = 3 + 2 = 5) as taking the penalties to use two bastard swords? (average = 5). [/QUOTE]
