Lesser Two Weapon Fighting

Name: Lesser Two Weapon Fighting
Skill or Spell: Skill

Category: Fighter
Class: Dualist
Type: Normal

Effect: Through training, the dualist has managed to eliminate some of the difficulties of fighting with two weapons. Though the dualist still cannot fight with two large weapons without penalty, the art of fighting with a sword and dagger (and similar styles) is now easy for him/her.

Upon learning this skill, the dualist loses the strength penalty that is applied when wielding a larger weapon with a smaller one. If the dualist is using a dagger and a sword, for example, after learning this skill, there will be no penalties to fighting like this. This skill does nothing to influence fighting with two larger weapons, however.

Maybe split this up into two skills? Have one skill be lesser skill with two handed, or some similar name, and have that take away some of the bonuses, and then have another be greater two handed fighting and have the lesser two handed be a pre-req for it, and then have that skill eliminate all the penalties.

Also, separate the "reasoning" behind the skill from the result of the skill itself by a new paragraph or so, for simplicity's sake.

Well, this one still won't eliminate the dex penalties, so if I split it up into two skills, what would the first one do? I actually wanted to do the same thing, have 2-3 skills and each be a prereq for the next, but I couldn't decide how it would make sense to split that up. So if you have a suggestion or plan, I'm game, I just didn't know where I would want to go with it or what the first skill would do.

Hmm. Good point, actually. Perhaps to split it up into two skills, one based on small and large weapon fighting, and the other based on large and large?

Ahhh, there's a good plan. That does make a good bit of sense. I'll go ahead and do that at some point over the next hour or so.

Coo coo

Changed to lesser two weapon fighting, costs and the like moved down accordingly. Hopefully, anyway. I think the costs look relatively reasonable?

Maybe kick wc up to 1k, but aside from that, looks good to me.

Edited accordingly

Approved, and since you're a mod, what the heck, I'll just add it in. Also, perhaps this calss can have a high level skill to give a chance to parry, since I don't see many other skills to give this class, but I also don't see any other class (unless added to the general fighter skills) that such a skill would be under.
