Dual Wielder

You master fighting with two weapons, gaining the following benefits:

Benefits

• AC Bonus: You gain a +1 bonus to AC while you are wielding a separate melee weapon in each hand.
• Non-Light Weapons: You can use two-weapon fighting even when the one-handed melee weapons you are wielding aren't light.
• Draw Two Weapons: You can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one.

Analysis

Dual Wielder opens up new weapon options for two-weapon fighting, allowing you to use weapons like longswords or battle axes in both hands. The +1 AC bonus is a nice defensive addition, and the ability to draw two weapons simultaneously removes an action economy issue.

Best For
