Arrgh! Two weapons holds btter benefits than having a shield IMO...
You get the powers of both weapons at the same time, the added AC of a shield doesn't really weigh up against the extra attacks hence extra damge two weapons er...does (Tho some sheilds do have nice powers like resistances etc, wish you could shield bash tho haha).
However, if you have ToB, then the special power GreaterWhirlwind kind of negates the extra attacks by setting your attacks per round to 10 for like about 6 seconds, but this is a temporary power...so...I still think 2 is better than 1.. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I have no prob with Clerics/Druids using shields however...

PS-Two weapons looks sick
