Ranger Bow question - Page 2

J'aran · 10-12-2004, 09:32 AM

Feature, done to emulate a Ranger's dual wielding. In BG2 you can actually dual wield, but that wasn't implemented in IWD due to time limitations or so. So as not to nerf Rangers (who are supposed to get free proficiency in dual wielding) too much, they gave them an extra attack when wielding a one-handed weapon with a free off-hand.

My heart goes out for you. You are having problems that I have not seen nor heard of. And you are all patched up, too. Really odd...

I would not feel bad about using Dale Keeper to correct the bug with the Ranger. You are not cheating (and if you are, so what?). And, yes, (in reply to a question I think you post in this or another thread) if it was me I'd re-install.

and a fighter... cannot dualwield???

It is a little dull for me.

AND... dualwield bow? Ehm, that means, he takes two bows and shot with them simultaneously? Cool.
OK, but why only 1 arrow will shoot then?
