When duel wielding even with 3 stars in it you still have penalties. Does this mean you are best putting your weaker weapon in your off hand so that the better weapon does suffer any penalties or are you best putting the better weapon in the off hand to compensate for the penalty?.

I'm planning on killing drizt when I meet him. Will I get his weapons and will I loose rep?.

Thanks

When Dual-wielding, the weapon in your off(left)hand is only swung ONCE per round, no matter how many Attacks per Round you might have. For this reason, putting a powerful offensive weapon, that's only useful because of what it does when it hits an enemy (such as the Flail of Ages or Celestial Fury) is essentially a waste of a good weapon. You'd be much better of sticking a weapon with defensive properties (such as Arbane's short sword) in your offhand.

Also, Dual-wielding does strange things with Speed Factor: The Speed Factor of each hand is calculated separately--and since your offhand always hits last, you can put your heavier weapon, with the slower speed factor, in that hand without suffering for it. (Which is kinda counter-intuitive, as it makes more sense to hold the lighter weapon in your weaker hand.)

You'll get his gear--sort of--and you will not lose Rep. [/ADD]

Drizzt will not be alone he is with 3 freinds and a leppard and the leppard goes after the weakest character on your team and he eats them all up.
Have fun!!!

Well, now, if you want to get down and dirty about it, a black panther is nothing more than a melanistic leopard. Melanism is a genetic mutation that results in excessive pigmentation of the skin and hair/fur, and is common in big cats, especially leopards. So Guen is indeed a leopard. A black one.

Okay, I'm gonna shut up, now. :)

A fellow Drizzt should know another Drizzt. He's Crimsom, not Crimson. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

Can we just call the cat Jennifer or Jenny, and not worry about the weird Welsh spellings?

Vedran 05-02-2003 02:33 PM

Let's call him Guen. But only friends call him like that, I am not sure if we may.

And Annatar? That was a typo. We don't harrass people for typos.
