Jun 05, 2009 1:33:05 The only information I have found on Dual Wield is the two feats you can gain~ two weapon fighting, and two weapon defense.

But I can find anything on the rules of two weapon fighting...

Does having two weapons grant 2 attacks? penalties?

where can I find this info?

Also do higher level characters gain additional attacks?

thanks for any help in advance

Mind if I ask one last question?

Do you not gain skills points by level anymore? you just gain higher skills from the mods as abilities mods increase? ( besides other mods)

Nitpick: TWF gives you +1 damage on your main hand weapon. Other than that Leichenreiter's info is quite correct.

There is also Two Weapon Defence that allows you to use your second weapon somewhat like a shield. (+1 to ac and ref def)

and Two weapon threat (increased damage on an Attack Of Oppertunity)

And that is just at the Heroic Tier..
