I just created a half-orc vampire fighter/rogue to serve as a mob boss opponent for my party. I gave him the chain fighter alternate racial feature so he could use a dire flail, and now I've got a few questions.
Does a double weapon add 1.5x Str on both attacks?
For TWF feats that call out the use of two weapons (i.e. TW defense, break guard) does a double weapon count as two weapons? He's gonna be doing a lot of disarming and I'd like break guard to be a viable option.
You treat one end as a one-handed weapon (STR to DMG) and the other end as a light weapon (1/2 STR to DMG).
So yes: it's treated as 2 weapons (a one-handed weapon and a light weapon).
All TWF feats are needed.
Alternately, you can use it as a single two-handed weapon (one attack w/ STR x1.5).
Ok, thanks for the clarification.
