[QUOTE="drnuncheon, post: 288564, member: 96"] Two-weapon fighting does not specify that both attacks are at the exact same instant, only that the extra attacks occur in the same round. Since a round is 6 sconds long, there are plenty of other instants in which to attack. I suggest you actually do some research on any form of fighting that uses two weapons. Striking with both weapons simultaneously is generally not done. Not true. See, when you attack with one end of the quarterstaff (as a double weapon) you by necessity are setting the other end up for an attack. The shortsword weilder has to pull his weapon back from its strike and only then can he deliver another strike. The quarterstaff weilder [i]already[/i] has his weapon ready, and only needs to deliver a strike. Unless your phat mad sw0rd sk1llz let you teleport your swordarm back into position, of course. J ...what? It's no siller than dancing gay leprechaun style. [/QUOTE]
