3* Definitely
2* if you can't resist the weapons 1* definitely not? |

I'd have to go with 2: If you can't resist the weapons.
Of course, part of this is because I'm not a 'get toe-to-toe with the monsters and fight to the death!' sort. I prefer to be able to shoot 'em full of arrows, bolts, or slingshot before having to switch to melee- and I *hate* how wielding dual-weapons makes use of any ranged weapon impossible. You'd think someone could still use a slingshot at the very least...argh! ------------------  Playing the cutest li'l Chaotic characters since 1996.

I'd say 3, the damage is terific!!! Of course, the To Hit gats pretty bad, but if you're high enough level, its worth it.

I disagree, dual-wielding rocks!
But the ideal thing is to have "a dual-wielding master" and "a two-handed weapon fighter" so you can both use 2 handed and 1 handed weapon in game. Dual wielding gives you extra attack(s) What's the difference between a 2-handed sword +5 and dual wielding longsword +5 and +5. Our Fighter is GM in all and STR bonus is +5 2-Handed Fighter Damage 1d10 +5+5 To Hit +5 Dual-wielding Fighter Damage 1d8+5+5 (Longsword) Damage 1d10+5+5 (Katana) To hit: +5 each (not +10) *AND EXTRA ATTACKS!!! Well the difference is 11-20 damage AND 22-38 damage No difference between TO HIT AND Dual wielding fighter has Extra AttackS! |
