[QUOTE="Bront, post: 2227011, member: 19696"] [b]Two-weapon Fighting[/b] Buby The ability to fire into melee without the -4 penalty is HUGE. It allows melee guys to protect archers/spellcasters and archers/spellcasters to help melee guys while they are in melee. It requires Point Blank shot, but that's a cool feat as well, that most archers are going to want, and still helps a ray spellcaster. (The +1 to hit still applies in 30') Remember, ranged touch attacks still get the -4 melee penalty for firing into melee, so it's good for ranged warriors as well as spellcasters. For Wizards and Sorcerers, it also allows them to use a light crossbow when they run out of spells and not suck any worse than they already do with their bad BAB. Meanwhile, to take advantage of Two Weapon Fighting to it's fullest, you need several other feats. (Improved two weapon fighting, Two Weapon Defence, ect) otherwise you're taking at least a -2 to hit, and you're not adding a lot of extra damage. It's not a bad feat, but more for the flavor than the reality. [/QUOTE]
