Well, with D&D 3.x rules, elemental damage negates stoneskin. stoneskin protects vs. physical (usual) damage only. im not sure if magical damage negates stoneskin aswell. magic missile does, but this is a bad example because of the force effect.

@Blades:
well, i think that there are many devastating dual-combos, right. but there is also a logical kind of thought which makes dual-wielding in certain cases just ... ridiculous.
a longsword can be pretty long, around 100 cm. same goes with katanas. therefore it just does not fit to the wielders agility and size to swing two larger swords perfectly and in harmony.

thats why d&d 3.x gives the penalty for off-hand weapons which a pretty large (mentioned above).

thats why i would like to use a larger sword in the main hand and a smaller in the off hand (parry-like weapon).
so, for off hand would short swords be fine or daggers (maybe scimitars too, but thats the hard limit).
