Are you allowed to use a buckler while you use a two handed weapon?

If this is possible...do you get a -1 penalty to attack rolls while doing so?

and finally...if all above is possible, could someone attack with a two handed weapon and attack with the buckler as a off-hand attack (you know, like you were using a two weapon combination like two one-handed swords or a double weapon)?

Thank you.

You're allowed to use a two-handed weapon while wearing a buckler, but you take the -1 and don't gain the buckler's AC while doing so (though there's a feat in CW that might allow you to keep the AC).
You cannot attack with a buckler, at all.

I think the feat is Improved Buckler Defence.

It is, but some argue that the feat does not work for wielding a two-handed weapon. The text of the feat says that it applies "when wielding a weapon in the off hand," and some people don't agree that you hold anything in your off hand when you hold a weapon two handed. :rolleyes:


Just to let you know. :D :angel:
