I can be patient, but I suspect this has been seen before, and a quick-fix statement or freelancer help has been established to jump the obstacle. My intended fix without input would be to subtract 50 gp each from Protection and Other Gear to get the intended Total Gear GP Value, or alter the total to 1,750gp - neither of these seem game-breaking. My other option is the check the NPCs created at this low level, and calculate their gear value totals, to see which total is the correct one.

<b>Benefit:</b> Your penalties on attack rolls for fighting with two weapons are reduced. The penalty for your primary hand lessens by 2 and the one for your off hand lessens by 6. See Two-Weapon Fighting in Chapter 8.

<b>Normal:</b> If you wield a second weapon in your off hand, you can get one extra attack per round with that weapon. When fighting in this way you suffer a –6 penalty with your regular attack or attacks with your primary hand and a –10 penalty to the attack with your off hand.
