[QUOTE="JacktheRabbit, post: 769289, member: 525"] He gets three attacks per round 2 of them at +11 to hit. He has taken the twin swords style which gives him a +2 bonus in melee. I know its not as good as a shield since it doesnt work against missle weapons but in melee it does equal a large shield in melee. Also I am lost over how you think a greatsword does more damage. Lets assume both fighters hit with their attacks and compare. A greatsword wielded by a fighter with 14 strength and having weapon specialization will do 1D12+5 for an average of 11.5 points of damage. We will assume he is 4th level with only one attack. A guy wielding a double sword fully proficient will do 1D8+2 and 1D8+1 damage. If he also picks up weapon specialization then that becomes 1D8+4 and 1D8+3. This is an average of either 12 or 16 points of damage per round. Furthermore the twin weapon guy has twice the chance to inflict criticals and neither one of them can use a shield so the twin sword guy can pick up the twin sword style feat from FRCS and have a better AC.
