All critiques and opinions are welcome!First, a change to the Fighting Style itself:Two-Weapon FightingWhen you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack. Also, Whenever you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and a different melee weapon in the other hand, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.And now for the TWF rule proper:Two-Weapon FightingWhen you take the Attack action and miss an attack with a light melee weapon that you’re holding in one hand, you can immediately make a second attack against the same target with a different light melee weapon that you’re holding in the other hand. You don’t add your ability modifier to the damage of this attack, unless that modifier is negative.If you have the Extra Attack feature, any further attacks you make as part of the Attack action also gain this benefit.If either weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon, instead of making a melee attack with it.The idea/intent here is:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">with this version of the fighting style, you get a defensive bonus for fighting with two weapons. The bonus isn't as good as a shield, unless you also invest into the Dual Wielder feat, but it should be nice to have</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">you can no longer stab your opponent with both your weapons at once, but if your main weapon misses, you get a second chance with your off-hand. This should play nice with rogues and their sneak-attacking needs</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">this should scale well with Extra Attack, potentially turning TWF into an high-accuracy style. You don't do as much damage as with a two hander, and you don't have the AC of shield+defense style, but you have some defense and are very likely to actually land hits</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">also, no bonus actions required anymore. Should be nice for rogues, but also other classes I bet</li> </ul></blockquote>
