View Full Version : Dualwielding Gladiator Tue, 11th Jun '02, 9:14pm What is this? I'm seriously clueless here.:( Vukodlak Tue, 11th Jun '02, 9:22pm Dual as in two, wielding as in using Use of two weapons at the same time - swords, daggers, hamsters whatever... Faerus Stoneslammer Tue, 11th Jun '02, 9:23pm Dualwielding is when you place a weapon in your shield slot, on the inventory screen, in addition to the weapon you already have equipped. Errol Tue, 11th Jun '02, 10:27pm Amongs having twice the damage to dish out, you get extra attacks per round etc etc. Kitrax Wed, 12th Jun '02, 12:23am Question: Can any class/kit dualwield a 2 handed sword? That would be so cool. :rolling: Blackthorne TA Wed, 12th Jun '02, 12:38am Of course not. No race has more than two hands, and you'd need at least three hands to dual wield with a two-handed sword. DeBhaal Stasion Wed, 12th Jun '02, 4:50am If you were an Ogre you could... but wait, I see no Ogre racial choice... so, guess you cant :p:p:rolleyes: SlimShogun Wed, 12th Jun '02, 7:01am Ogres have more than two hands? kemanmaldea Wed, 12th Jun '02, 2:33pm No but a two handed sword is a one handed wepon for them because they are large... in anycase this is more of a 2nd/3rd edition forum problem. Go there and ask if you have questions aboug how this works in P&P D&D. Hardcase Von Crudd Thu, 13th Jun '02, 1:10am You also can't dual wield with any missile weapons. This is fair enough with two handed weapons (like a bow), but IMO you should be able to dual wield with items like throwing daggers and throwing axes. DeBhaal Stasion Thu, 13th Jun '02, 2:36am They write it off to the fact that throwing a weapon requires more balance, and holding another weapon/sheild/whatever in the off hand will throw you off. And yes a Ogre can dual weild greatswords because they are of large size, and so is the Ogre. In effect to an Ogre a greatsword is the equivilent to a long sword to a human. A one handed weapon. To go into more detail would be in 2e/3e rules which the ones I would be refering to arent implemented into BGII so no reason to speak of them. |
