Oh no problem! But don't give up on your character concept that easily! Just know that you need 2 feats (Two Weapon Fighting and Ambidexterity, both of which you get for free if you are a ranger). Choice of weapon(s) are just up to you (if you want to do the Driz'zt dual-wielding scimitars, just take the above 2 feats and grab a couple of scimitars). You may get some penalties to your attack rolls, but you get an extra attack (2 if you take Improved Two Weapon Fighting, which you cannot even get until 9th level), which makes up for it. It may seem complicated at first, but really it is not that difficult once you get playing (the prelude of the official campaign is a great place to train yourself, as it is pretty easy to wipe everything out regardless of what you are wielding).

Best of luck!
