Rangers and Two-weapon fighting

[Jack Daniel]

Two-wepaon fighting is very common in my campaigns -- heavy on the swashbuckling and kung fu, so as such, one of the unique touches to my 1800s setting was the introduction of a new skill, Duel, a class skill for every class that isn't a nine-level spellcaster. The execution works much the same way as Iajutsu Focus, replacing the initative check in a formal duel and granting a damage bonus to the duelist who hits based on the check. I've been able to synergize this skill quite well with dueling rules for parry/thrust/riposte, off-hand parrying with a dagger, and my personal favorite, feats that grant bonuses for taunts and comebacks.

Actually, Flury of Blows is always better or equal to fighting normally (unless you need to roll exactly 18 to hit, where it's slightly less). This is drawn out in S&F. They just did the table split wrong.

I don't know about TWF and Ambi though.
