[QUOTE="AZRogue, post: 4264320, member: 3963"] I've heard now, in several places, that the Ranger is the only Class to get a Two Weapon Fighting ability, as in a at-will Power that allows an attack with two weapons, not the supposed feats which add to AC (though I LIKE those feats). Is this truly the case? Let me first say that I'm very, very pleased with how 4E is shaping up but I'm disappointed in the Ranger becoming the only real two weapon fighter in the game. I know it's due to that popular Drow, even though the bastard had two weapon fighting originally because he was a DROW--and that was their thing--and not because he was a freaking Ranger, but I'm sorry to see everyone who wishes to fight with two weapons be forced to become Drizzt clones to do so. Does multiclassing allow for a Rogue to dip enough into the Ranger class to get TWF? If so, how deep does he have to go? The reason I ask is that I want to play a Rogue and was happy to see that a dagger wielding Rogue could be viable and not a party gimp--but it seems to me that a dagger Rogue just seems to really fit the idea of a nimble, lightly armored striker with two small light weapons in his hands. He doesn't use a shield. Wouldn't a Rogue, especially the new Rogue, have been able to benefit from TWF? Any chance that we'll see this as an option in the Martial book? :) [/QUOTE]
