[QUOTE="JoeNotCharles, post: 5066768, member: 79945"] The new writeups for double weapons are in [url=http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/UpdateJan2010.pdf]the January 2010 errata[/url], page 27 (Adventurer's Vault) and 62 (Eberron Player's Guide). Oh, and also 72 (Dragon 368, Staff Fighting) and 73 (Dragon 372, Spiked Chain Training). I believe that's all the double weapons - anybody know any more? (Aside: Oh my goodness, there are Dragon Magazine updates in there now! Hallelujah!) The new rules look pretty good to me. They've addressed the problem of weapons getting 2 weapon types simultaneously (double swords are now Light Blades only, the Ugrosh is now an axe on one end and a spear on the other, not two ends which are both spears and axes), and they've addressed the problem of every side of every weapon being off-hand (now there's a main end and an off-hand end). The Double Sword is still off-hand on both ends, but at least now it's obviously deliberate and since it only does 1d6/1d6 damage it's not remotely overpowered for a Tempest Fighter (must represent a very light sword). There's more use of Defensive than I'd like but I don't think that's enough to make it broken anymore. [color=Green][size=4]YES[/size][/color] [/QUOTE]
