Dual Wield Skill
Syntax: Automatic on wielding a second weapon.
The dual wield skill allows you to use two weapons simultaneously in combat.
You cannot dual-wield while wearing a shield or holding an object.
The limits on the size of the weapons is based on the size of the character.
A medium sized character (such as a human or an elf) can wield one one-handed
medium sized weapon (such as a longsword or mace) and one 'light' medium
sized weapon (such as a dagger or short sword) or smaller. A small sized
character can wield one one-handed small weapon and one 'light' small weapon
or smaller.
For example,
A human can dual wield:
...1x Medium sized longsword and 1x medium sized shortsword or
...1x Medium sized mace and 1x medium sized dagger or
...1X Medium sized cutlass and 1X small sized longsword
...and so on.
A gnome can dual wield:
...1x Small sized longsword and 1x small sized dagger or
...1x Small sized scimitar and 1x small sized shortsword or
...1x Small sized flail and 1X tiny sized longsword
...etc.
A character who has become a grandmaster in this skill can wield two weapons
of a size no larger than their own size, i.e., two small or two medium sized
weapons.
