Dual wield scimitar Continue The act of using two weapons, one in each hand to train or fight Mongolian soldiers double wielding knives while demonstrating dual-wielding skills is the technique of using two weapons, one in each hand for training or combat. This is not a common combat practice. While historical records of dual wielding in war are limited, there are numerous weapons based on martial arts that include the use of a pair of weapons. The use of companion weapons is sometimes used in European martial arts and fencing, such as parrying a dagger. Miamoto Musashi, a Japanese fencing man and ronin, is said to have conceived the idea of a special fencing style involving the use of two swords. In terms of firearms, especially handguns, dual possession is usually condemned by gun lovers because of its impracticality. While the use of two pistols at the same time gives an advantage in allowing more finished ammunition, this is rarely done because of other aspects of the handling of weapons. Dual possession, both with melee and long-range weapons, has been popularized by fictional works (film, television and video games) that have the freedom to ignore the impracticality of style, and the term itself is often referred to in the context of the work. The story of the Urban Proletariat boy double wields pistols in the painting by Eugene Delacroix La Libert' guidant le peuple. Dual possession has not been used or mentioned much in military history, although it appears in weapons based martial arts and fencing practices. The use of weapons combinations in each hand was mentioned for hand combat in Western Europe in the Byzantine, medieval and Renaissance. The use of parrying a dagger, such as the main gosh along with the rapier, is common in historical European martial arts. Eskrima, a traditional martial arts Philippines teaches Doble Baston techniques related to the basic use of a pair of rattan sticks, as well as Espada y dage or sword/stick and dagger. Okinawan martial arts have a method that uses a pair of sai. Chinese martial arts include the use of a pair of butterfly swords and crochet swords. Gatka, a weapon-based martial art from the Punjabi region, is known to use two sticks at the time. Thailand's weapon based on the martial arts of Krabi Krabong involves the use of individual Krabi in each hand. Kalaripayattu teaches advanced students to use either two sticks (of different sizes) or two daggers or two swords at the same time. One of the oldest mentions is the double-wielding gladiator style, known as dimachaerus, where a gladiator would use two swords of the same length, sometimes straight and sometimes curve halfway up the blade. North american Tribes of the Atlantic Northeast used a form involving a tomahawk in the main hand and a knife in the secondary. It is practiced today as part of okichitaw's contemporary cry. All of the above examples include either one long and one short weapon or two short weapons. An example of a double owner of two sabers is a Ukrainian Cossack dance hopak. The use of a gun in each hand is often associated with the American Old West, mainly because of images in the media. It was common for people in the era to wear two handguns, but not to use them at the same time as shown in movies. Another pistol was used as a back-up weapon. However, there were several examples of militants in the West who actually used two handguns simultaneously in their shootouts: John Wesley Hardin killed a gunman named Benjamin Bradley, who shot him, drawing both handguns and shooting him. Mexican vaquero Augustine Chacon had several shootouts in which he outnumbered more than one shooter, and he triumphed by equipping himself with a revolver in each hand. One day, King Fisher managed to kill three bandits in a shootout, pulling out both pistols. During the infamous Four Dead in Five Seconds shootout, Dallas Studenmayr pulled out both handguns when he ran outside and killed one passer-by and two other gunmen. Jonathan R. Davis, a California Gold Rush prospector, was ambushed by eleven criminals along with two of his comrades. One of his friends was killed and the other was fatally wounded in an ambush. Davis pulled out both revolvers and fired, killing seven bandits and killing the others with a knife. Modern models dressed as Lara Croft double wielding dual pistols double wielding two pistols are said to have been popularized by the passion of film and television. The MythBusters have an episode in which they compared many firing positions, including with a gun in each hand, and found that, compared to two hands of one gun position as a reference, only a one-handed shoulder level position with a single gun was comparable in terms of accuracy and speed. The main reason for this was given the opportunity to look down the sights of the gun. In an episode the following year, they compared possession of two guns and shooting simultaneously rather than alternating left and right shots with one gun in two hands, and found that the results were in favor of using two guns and firing simultaneously.

Extracted from Double Blade scimitar is significantly better than the un-improved two-armed two-armed combat (combat move, not combat style), slightly better than two combat-fighting-style weapons alone, and perhaps better than a double wielder feat alone, but completely surpassed the classic TWF'Dual Wielder combo (if you spend the feat on a double scimitar as well). On a cost basis, this is the best weapon available, but not so good that it makes any other choice meaningless. By comparison, I assume that both attack rolls are a hit, and I will refer to two combat combat style weapons like TWF to distinguish it from the two weapon combat combat option. When you use two combat combat weapons to move alone, both weapons should be light, and the second weapon does not add positive modifier power to the damage; but the double scimitar does not suffer from this deficiency, because the attack with the second blade is a special ability of the weapon, not two weapons fighting the battle move. Double Cledd Scimitar: 2d4'STR - 1d4'STR - 7.5 (2STR) Damage Unenhanced Double-Gun (Double Shorts, or Similar Pair of Weapons): 1d6'STR - 1d6 - 7'STR Damage TWF Fighting alone (double scimitars): 1d6'STR - 1d6-STR - 7 (2STR) damage double wielder feat alone (double longswords, or a similar pair of weapons: 1d8'STR - 1d8 - 9'STR Damage (and No.1 AC) Based on this comparison, DBS is better than TWF only at half the point of damage, and dual Wielder gives a little higher damage at very low ability bonuses, but once you are at 3 euros or higher , the two-bladed scimitar excels. However, taking into account the AC bonus, the feat can still be more desirable even with a bonus of 5 pounds (17.5 damage for DBS vs. 14 and 1 ac for two long words). But of course the combination of these two completely deflates all other options: TWF combat style and double wielder feat (double longswords): 1d8'STR - 1d8'STR - 9 (2STR) (and No. 1 AC) On strength modifier No.5, Your damage totals will look like this: DBS - 17.5 Double Keeper Damage - 14 Damage, No.1 AC TWF - 17 TWF Damage - Double Keeper - 19 Damage, No. 1 AC How Do You Get Levels When You Get Extra Attack , you want your main weapon to be as destructive as possible, so that the scimitar (with 5 average bone damage) pulls very little ahead of the double-wielding options (at 4.5 average bone damage), but the difference is not enough to really change anything that much.
