[QUOTE="Kemrain, post: 1171873, member: 12153"] I was suprised that the Two Weapon Defense feat grants only a 1 point Shield bonus, and doesn't impose the two weapon fightng penalty on the on-hand weapon's attacks. I'd have bumped it up to a +2, and kept the 2 weapon penalty ot the on-hand weapon's attack rolls, because you're still swinging the second weapon around, just not tryin's to whack the other guy with it. Then again, this only really comes out if you're using a light weapon in your off-hand, which, though most people do, E1ven's example did not. I think that TWF granting iterative attacks with your off-hand is a wonderful idea, and goes a long way to open up this combat route to people who normally wouldn't do it. Hell, I could even see someone using a Bastard sword in their on-hand, and switching to a 2handed fighting stance when it was useful. Making 3 feats into 1 feat makes this possible, and though it makes TWF a very powerful feat, it's still not going to be the best option in most cases. On the lines of that Dual Strike feat... What if we made it like Manyshot, giving it one attack roll to hit with both weapons at once, applying sneak attack once, and making it a standard action, so it could be used with Spring Attack. That could be balanced, right? It's been offered up before, though I'm not sure who came up with the idea. Whoever they are, they should get the credit. - Kemrain the Off-Handed [/QUOTE]
