Dual wielding is the ability to use an additional weapon in the character's offhand. Weapons being dual wielded will suffer a slight penalty in the amount of damage and have a lesser chance of iterative attacks. Weapon weight must be considered with this skill, as only weapons lighter then the one being wielded in the main hand are capable of being dual wielded. Swordmasters are exempt from this restriction, and can dual wield nearly any two swords they can hold.

Because it can improve by failure and does so frequently, dual wield can be quickly perfected even without being practiced. The ambidextrous trait helps reduce the weight restrictions when dual wielding.
