Off-hand of Swashbuckler????

in General Discussion (Spoiler Warning!)
I made a generic swashbuckler character and upped his level to 40. I looked at his stats and his main hand is correct...it is at 0 THAC, but his off-hand is at 10. Is this normal? It looks like the swashbuckler's bonuses only apply to one hand. I even had two weapon skill with three stars, and the weapons specialized. If this is how it is supposed to be, it really nerfs the swashbuckler in my opinion. Better to go with a Fighter/Thief. Any thoughts or advice?

    I recommend adding a Off Hand THAC0 Bonus effect for a value of 8 if you really want it, but it's working as desired.
    Anyway you can create a feature request if you want, it's something worth improving.

    Umm...its not working as desired @CrevsDaak.

    The issue is known about and its #7337 in the internal system. It may be related to bug #7314 (which had Kensai's experiencing a similar issue with their offhand weapon).

    Also apparently fighter/thieves are also affected by this (according to the bug report anyways).

    @elminster oh, well, I really did not knew :P I knew about the Kensai's THAC0 bonus missing in the off-hand, but not about this.

    AFAIK its only a display bug, the correct value is used in combat, no?
