Any penalties for having multiple weapons in hands?
« on: October 17, 2011, 05:56:24 am »

If I equip a crossbow, long sword and a warhammer in one hand, and a shield in the other, do I get accuracy penalties or something? Sort of like multigrasp.

I'm thinking about having items for all occasions ready to use. On the next ambush, I'll be able to fire a few bolts, and when they come near I'll stab them with the sword, since crossbows are not very effective at killing goblins...

I don't think you can fire the crossbow if you're holding something in the other hand.

That may be wrong though. I just remember finding out at the worst possible time that my adventurer wouldn't shoot the  bandits.

You can :)

Only it looks like crossbows can't be equipped with both longsword and warhammer, just one of them. I think it was a bow that I equipped with both.
