Two weapon ranged fighting....

[Salad_Shooter]

Okay, if you have a fighter (or some other class) armed with a small, one handed ranged weapon (sling, hand xbow, dart, that sort of thing) can he also fight with another one handed weapon? It'd be interesting, and could eliminate some of the difficulties with started with a ranged weapon and switching to a close combat when they get too close. I'd love to hear your ideas!

Yes you can fight with a ranged weapon in one hand and a melee weapon in the other.

Nifty...this could make for an interesting concept. Thanks!

If you're using shuriken - no problem.

If you're using darts or daggers, you'll need Quick Draw if you want to throw more than one a round.

If you're using a sling or crossbow, you have a problem - you can attack with one hand, but you need two hands to reload.

One of my chars used this extensively. One handed weapon in the right hand, hand/throwing axes in the left hand. If you dropped one opponent, you threw the axe at someone else in case you had attacks left. Quickdraw came later, but for most cases it was sufficient to draw the next weapon while tumbling into flanking position of the next soon-to-be-corpse as a part of the move action... kill it pretty fast and throw the next axe...
