[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 6162274, member: 7006"] If you have just the first PHB... then yes, you can take Twin Strike as one of your at-will powers. This power that allows you to attack twice can be used with [I]both[/I] ranged weapons and dual-wielded weapons. So you can start the fight at range and get to fire two arrows per round using Twin Strike, and then if a monster runs up to engage you in melee, you can switch over to your swords and attack twice per round using Twin Strike as well (one attack from each weapon.) As far as your question as to why you wouldn't wield two longswords... you certainly can, *if* you take the 'two-blade fighting style' rather than the 'archer fighting style'. Ordinarily, you would have to wield a weapon with the 'Off-hand' property in your off-hand (which would preclude longswords)... but the 'two-blade fighting style' allows you to use a regular one-handed weapon in your off-hand (which the longsword is.) You could also dual-wield battleaxes, or picks, or warhammers or whatever you wanted to use. [/QUOTE]
