Two weapon Fighting

[Afropoet]

I recently made a two weapon fighter. he seems to only attack with one weapon a turn. Is there a mode to turn on?

Only light weapons can be dual-wielded. Look for the Light tag on weapons. For example you can dual-wield 2 short swords, or 2 daggers, or a short sword and a dagger. But not a rapier (which is not a light weapon) and a dagger.
To check if a combination of weapon works, look for the main and off hand attacks on the left side of the screen. If you only see the main attack, then the off hand weapon will not be used.

Do you know if the 5e Dual Wielder feat is available?

This lets you use two weapons even when the weapons are not light. So rapier + dagger is fine; and a common choice (two rapiers is kitschy, but ydy)

(There are some minor other benefits as well.)

you have to select attack the second time, to attack with the second weapon

[Jonkenden]

You need to use your bonus action to attack with offhand

I got it. I thought longswords were versatile meaning it can be used as a light weapon, but it seems you can only twf with two light weapons like mentioned above. Versatile means 1 or two handed. I wish it auto completed your second attack unless specified not too with a toggle. having an extra click is a bit of a chore

[DWAR]

its an extra click because the main-hand attack uses your standard action, while the off-hand uses your bonus action. This also allows you to attack a different opponent with either strike.

So wait... do BOTH weapons have to be light? I thought only the off-hand weapon has to be light.

[IgnatiusJ.Reilly]

They both must be Light. Maybe later TA will homebrew a feat similar to Dual Wielder in pnp, but for now, they both must be Light.

This is unfortunately a 5e thing, not a Solasta thing. For some reason, 5e imposes a hard cap of 1 bonus action per turn. 5e also implements off-hand attacks as bonus actions. Thus, a video game based on 5e can't auto-complete two-weapon attacks because this would eat up the character's bonus action, stopping them from using it in some other way. This is very noticeable for e.g. Rogues, whose class features give them lots of other stuff to do with their bonus action.

I thought versatile meant you can use the weapon 1h with a shield, or 2h if you have no shield?

And in the latter case get 2h bonuses if you have that style?
