I love double weapons. Double swords, double axes, hook hammers, you name it. However, I'm really having a hard time justifying even using these weapons other than mere cosmetics. First, you have to spend two feats to use one effectively (Two weapon fighting and Exotic weapon proficency) compared to using two different weapons (Two weapon fighting is the only feat needed to be a long sword/short sword wielder). Double weapons tend to be much more expensive than just buying two weapons (You save 85 gold by getting a long sword and short sword over a double sword).

I just feel like double weapons are almost pointless and a huge waste of a feat. How can I improve them to make them stand up to other weapon fighting styles? (weapon and shield, two individual weapons, two handed weapons, ect)

Recently, there was a convention in Ohio called Origins, and Paizo Publishing had attended. During a seminar I asked if there was any chance of a Savage Species type of book being published, and the kind representatives said that they had actually hired one of the head writers of that book to work for Paizo.

I absolutely loved the monster classes for 3.0/3.5 and enjoyed playing giants, trolls, minotaurs, driders, and all the like. So I'm kind of hoping that there are others like me on this site who enjoy much of the same...and we can drum up support for a possible future product?
