Which does everyone find more effective...........
Using a shield or having axsecond weapon? Also is just using 1 weapon and putting lots of points on single weapon fighting style worth it? |

I usually either have one dualwielder and one sword-and-shielder, or I have Jaheira swap between the two, depending on whether she needs the extra AC or not. Also, twohanded weapons are often very good (for Jaheira, the spear of impaling or the Staff of Arundel/Woodlands)

I use neither for my pc and only ever a shield sometimes for those using slings. I don't like dual weapon wielding personally as I don't think it's very realistic. Assigning a point to single weapon proficiency increases AC and reduces the critical hit roll.
Personal preferences only, I'm not saying A is better than B. ------------------ One love, peace. |

I always carry a weapon in one hand and a shield in the other.

Have one of each. The one with the Shield (and better AC presumably) takes the main attacks, and the chop-o-matic hits the enemy's flanks while they're occupied
