Hi,

I'm kind of new in here and by poking around a little bit I've come to agree that TWF is not a really good option.

Currently one of the players in my table (rise of the runelords anniversary edition) is playing a TWF ranger and he has, by a fair amount, the lowest DPR of the table. Problem is that they are having a really hard time with the battles.

So I've been thinking on a way to make TWF on the same league as tow handed or sword and shield.

I have a few ideas but maybe they are over power and was wandering if anybody could give a hand. Okey so far I've got:

1. Decrease in 2 the dex requirement for the whole chain of TWF feats;
2. Decrease in 1 the penalty for fighting with two weapons when reaching improved two weapon fighting;
3. Decrease in another 1 the penalty for fighting with two weapons when reaching greater two weapon fighting;
4. Improved two weapon fighting would also give the option as a standard action, make one attack with both his primary and secondary weapons. The penalties for attacking with two weapons apply normally (as the two-weapon warrior fighter archetype);
5. Greater two weapon fighting would change it all, now at any given situation where he would make a attack he can, by taking the two weapon fighting penalty, make a equal number of attacks with his off hand weapon using the same BAB as the main hand.

For instances, a 11th level fighter with greater two weapon fighting, wielding a longsword on his main hand and a shortsword on his off hand making a full-attack would get 3 attacks with his longsword (+11/+6/+1 and any other bonus, no two weapon penalty) and another 3 with his shortsword (+11/+6/+1 and any other bonus, no two weapon penalty). If the same hypothetical fighter were using spring attack he would have one attack with the long sword and another with the shortsword, the same thing for vital strike, cleave, whirlwind attack, charge, opportunity attack and so forth.

Is it still under power, or maybe over power? I am planing in letting the ranger use these for two weapon fighting for testing...

Thanks
