Message: <blockquote data-quote="Systole" data-source="post: 6169761" data-attributes="member: 93930">The problems with TWF are as follows:-You need a full attack to make TWF work.  A guy with 2-hander is still effective if he has to move and attack.-As soon as you run into damage reduction, you're twice as screwed as the guy with the 2-hander.-You pay twice the upgrade costs as the guy who's only wielding one weapon.-Ideally, TWF works well with Sneak Attack ... except Sneak Attack is generally useless for a variety of different reasons that I won't go into here.-The light weapons that you're using in your OH can't be used with Power Attack.-The TWF tree a feat sink.-You're multi-ability dependent, since you need Dexterity for TWF pre-reqs (TWF rangers excluded).-If you're using different MH/OH weapons, you have to spend twice the feats if you want Weapon Focus or Weapon Specialization.And most of that still applies if you're wielding greataxes instead of shortswords.  The big difference is that your d12s are averaging an extra 3 damage per strike compared to a shortsword's d6.  Perfectly acceptable in my book.</blockquote>
