OFFHAND
Warrior only.
Syntax:
OFFHAND weapon
Example:
offhand kris
offhand venom
This technique allows a warrior to substitute a shield for a second weapon.
Current class warriors may wield any one-handed weapon in their right hand, and
a BACKSTABBER in their left.
If you choose to use an offhand weapon, note that weapon HR and DR only
apply to attacks involving that weapon. Your primary weapon's HR and DR do
not apply to attacks made with your offhand weapon, and your offhand
weapon's HR and DR do not apply to attacks made with your primary weapon.
You will attempt offhand weapon strikes during melee combat, but not while
attempting to BACKSTAB The number of melee attacks (hits) you can get is
determined by the SKILLS you have practiced. You will get one fewer attack with
your offhand weapon than with your primary one. If you have practiced either
DUAL or SECONDATTACK you will get a maximum of two hits with your primary
weapon and one with your offhand weapon, for a total of three per round. If you
have also practiced THIRDATTACK you will get a maximum of three hits with your
primary weapon and two with your offhand weapon, for a total of five per round.
Note that those are best-case scenarios; you will get fewer attacks most of the
time, and of course you may miss, or the opponent may DODGE or PARRY your hits,
depending on who or what you're fighting.
Note: You cannot use a shield while wielding an offhand weapon.
Further note that only current class warriors may use an offhand weapon!
