Double Weapons

DM_Djinn

Double weapons are a tricky thing in NWN and they don't work like they ought to; each end of a double weapon is technically supposed to be made a "light category" weapon. This means that if the player has the Weapon Finesse feat, double weapons should be using the Dexterity modifier to hit.

Thanks for reading!

Uhh, no? The offhand in PnP is treated as a light weapon in regards to the two weapon fighting penalties but that does not make the weapon a light weapon, only in regards to the penalties.

That said I do rather wish they matched up more with their PnP counter parts (the ability to toggle between using only one side of the weapon two handed and one handed would be a god send for characters focusing in such with the whole exotic feat requirement). Then again I rather wish they'd also let you use various medium weapons 2 handed.

That said if you want to treat a double weapon as a light weapon for weapon finesse and house rule it I do agree that weapon finesse should be modifiable for you (and everyone else) to add weapons they see fit fall into such.
