Two handed weapon question (in General)


QBJohnnywas April 19 2005 12:32 PM EDT

Is there a penalty for using a two handed weapon with a shield in CB2? If so what is it?

Thanks.

Yes there is, for 2 handed weapon plus a regular shield. I believe it is 3 or 4 times the regular DX penalty, so it also depends on what shield you have.

Ok thanks. =)

Is there a list of the weapons and armours, along with penalties like there used to be in the new players guide for CB1?

FirebreathingChicken, not like you to be so brief in your posting....

LOL...

Try looking around the Community links. It's pretty easy to guess which one it is...

I don't mean the meta stats by the way...

And the link to the new players guide is a dead one...

The site by [umk]Fangs is the best out there.

Ah, that's the kind of thing I was after. Thanks!!!

Thank [umk]Fangs, not me :)

If instead of a regular shield I use a mage shield (which, according to its description, has no DX malus), can I use a 2-handed weapon with no penalty?

I've just tried it out - an exec with my mage shield - and there is no dex penalty with that particular combo.
