Encyclopedia

Many naive warriors learn this skill thinking double the weapons means double the damage. They then learn that it is important to become skilled with both weapons that they wish to wield. Even then, one may only get an extra attack with the offhand for every two attacks with the primary hand.

Those harbouring fantasies of entering battle with twin longswords should be cautioned that when the weapon in the off hand is not smaller than the one in the main hand it is even harder to wield.

Description

With this skill, you have a chance to perform an attack with a weapon wielded in the left hand, potentially allowing you to perform two attacks during a single round.

If the left hand weapon is the same size or larger then your primary weapon, you'll have only a 66% chance to hit. The skill Ambidextrous will cancel this penalty.
