Hi,
I am trying to convert D&D to Pendragon system but I've come across a couple of snags.
Two Weapon Fighting- not in the basic system for Pendragon and the standard split makes the use of it too weak ( Character with Sword Skill of 15 must split to attack two enemies, as in split 10 for one attack and 5 for the other or any variation of split to equal 15) but this is the same for any character using a one handed weapon.
If the character uses two weapons what mod's would be suggested? More especially if the person is using two same type weapons (in this case two battleaxes).
I've considered using the best D&D mods of granting two attacks at -2 if using one light(small) weapon and a single handed weapon, but this still makes the character pretty tough compared to single weapon user.
If the player is using two same(medium) size weapons then two attacks at -4 or more extreme version on -4 and -6.
What conversion stuff has anyone seen and what suggestions could you come up with?

I'm suprised at the lack of responses to my thread, have so few people played the Pendragon System that none are reading this Messageboard? For those out there that havn't played Pendragon, I'd seriously recommend it. It's a huge game really that if played properly includes illicit affairs, devious lustful women, many generations of families and the ultimate King Arthur experience.
Get hold of Version 3 main book for the better character generation and background details but version 4 is very good and for GM's the Campaign book is the most awesome book ever produced. It goes through the entire events from the early start of Arthurs father Uther Pendragon through Arthurs rise( loads of battles against the Saxons) and fall and a few years after.The players in my previous campaign stated that the Women in the Stories were the most lethal influence in any campaign. Many knight did the most dangerous, rediculous and otherwise hard tasks to woo the women who generally played with the knight like a cat with a mouse.
Strength of arm is not enough!!!
I'd like to hear peoples experiences of the Pendragon game?
