DUAL

--- DUAL (SKILL) ---

This skill enables a character to wield two weapons at the same time, as
opposed to the standard weapon-and-shield combination. Normal rules for
wielding weapons still apply. (Specifically, if a medium-sized character is
wielding a weapon that requires two hands, then he/she cannot dual another
weapon, just as he/she cannot use a shield.) This skill modifies a
character's hitroll and damroll with the second weapon. Therefore, even
though you may be able to dual wield a second weapon with a rating of 1% in
this skill, you will not hit your foe with the second weapon very often, nor
will you do any significant damage when you do hit.
