Some people like to roleplay as well as annilate bad guys... I thought that rangers had more hit dice than the fighter did, I am wrong? Aslo they are the only class intended for dual wielding, unfortunately the BG series simply screwed that law up.. So, if you really want to play by DnD rules, rangers should be the only folks out there wielding two separate weapons.
