Why does Regill have two-weapon fighting when he's specialized in a two-handed weapon?

[tenebrous.sage]

There's no apparent reason for it, and it's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ waste of a feat, at least if you want to keep him a Hellknight.

[Morgian]

You have not looked closely. The gnomehooked hammer is a double weapon, not a 2H one. And double weapons require twoweapon fighting.

[solthusx]

That's because his weapon is a Gnome Hooked Hammer, which is a double weapon. Wielding it counts as two weapon fighting with a light weapon in the off hand.

[Vervain]

Not when you get the feat/ability thundering blows it isnt

[Ciaina]

Because that two handed weapon he specializes in has 2 sides used for two different attacks.
Like the double headed orc axe.
It's a two handed, double sided weapon.

It is kind of stated in the weapon type.
And yeah, you use two weapon fighting to determine the second "head" attack and damage.

The PRO is that both attacks are from the same weapon, with the same bonuses.
The CON is the same.

You get CONSISTENCE at the price of VARIATION.

If a weapon has a VERY good effect, you don't have to stress to place it in the main hand or the secondary hand: on hit the effect WILL proc.

But you get only one weapon, and not multiple POTENTIAL effects that classic dual wielding gives you.

So, yeah. Not a waste.

I looked closely and it clearly says Two-handed. Where exactly does it state its a double weapon?

not at pc right now, but I'm not sure.
I do know that it is true though. It also attacks like you're using two weapons.

Right click the item to reveal the verbose description and then read through the entire description there.

And nowhere does it say its a double weapon on any of the 3 gnome hook hammers i have. The only mention I've found is that they fall into the weapon training for double weapons.

It doesn't explicitly say it. Nevertheless, it is a double weapon and behaves as if you were dual wielding two weapons.

Right, so chalk it up to lack of detailed info in game design. Gotcha. Thank for the replies.

I mean, it's easy enough to deduce. When you equip it your character sheet shows off-hand attacks. Still, it would be nice if they added "double weapon" qualifier to the weapon attributes.

[Sandro]

If you mouse over your +attack in the character sheet, it will show that he gets a bonus for Double Weapons in the calculation. It will also show a second set of attack rolls to the right of the main hand, the same as with two weapon fighters.

Perhaps if i used him more I would have worked it out, only using him as I picked his Drezen attack option. Thought it was very strange for him to have 2 weapon feat but use a 2h weapon. Oh well, it is what it is.
