double bladed swords

[thedomicron]

i was thinking, would giving double bladed swords some immunity toelements and such be too overpowering?

while you can't give ac bonus, what about bonus to say dex, and some immunity to elemetns, like 10% or something so that they could at least start to compare to a shield...

also, would it be too overpowering to give the monk's perfect self ability magic reduction, instead of 20/+1? it seems that not a lot of omnsters use non-magic weapons

There was a post a while ago that discussed giving double weapons extra attacks per round.

I don't know how far up the "todo" list this change is, but it's been discussed at least.

I tried to find the update on the board but couldnt see it.
Sorry to ask again Funky but is this a yay or nay?

Going with the large dual wpns is probably the ultimate melee challenge as it has to be a str build and anything less than a large subrace means losing shield (and large subraces dont get the off-hand bonuses anyway from what I understand).

Maybe the benefit can be scripted to add the extra attacks for medium races only or on equip of shield removes the extra attacks.
With 2 extra attacks I think a fair few will try to do this ultimate challenge but will find it much much harder than they expected, in fact nearly impossible without smart playing and a strong build.

Ah would be some prestige in having one at lvl 60 for sure.

If you read the linked-to post you already have the answer. Everything is on hold until CEP2 hits.
