[QUOTE="rmcoen, post: 9006458, member: 6692404"] 1) I agree that facing a guy wielding two weapons is Intimidating. Showy as all hell. 2) Looking at the recent OneD&D playtest, they changed the Berserker's bonus attack into a bunch of extra damage on his normal attack. TWF could work that way. "When you attack with two weapons and score a hit with your main weapon, add your off-hand damage to your main-hand damage. Only apply your attribute bonus once." Mechanically the same as hitting twice, scales with Extra Attack. Unlike the most recent house rule proposed in this thread, it does the opposite of giving you more chances to hit, though. So I would still keep the "BA off-hand strike". And you can take the feat for +1 AC. So now the TWF'er is getting increased main-hand damage - but likely not as much as a 2-Hander - and the option for a second weak strike. He sits squarely in the middle of the "sword and board" (d8 & 2 AC) and the "GWM" (2d6, 0 AC) with his rapier-and-dagger (d8+d4, 1 AC). [/QUOTE]
