Double Weapons

It's probably better to change the class rules than to make class references in a weapon property. The easiest fix is probably to change the Tempest Fighter to give the damage bonus with one-handed weapons only. --Urban 17:20, 25 November 2008 (CET)

I just felt something had to be done about double weapons; they are just too damned good now.

The double weapons originally had two different lines of text, like so:

Two-bladed sword    +3    d10    —    40 gp    15 lb.    Heavy blade
     (Off hand)    +3    d6                Light blade    Off-hand 

It's best to think of them that way, with each end having different traits. They're certainly not supposed to let you use a heavy blade with sneak attack on a technicality or anything like that.
