question about TWO_HANDED and MINIMUM_SIZE in weapon token
« on: April 03, 2017, 08:19:32 am »

is TWO_HANDED mean minimum size to wield it with both/multiple hand in one weapon ? or its mean for dual wielding ?
also are MINIMUM_SIZE not apply in arena mode ? since look like any creature smaller size than the weapon minimum size can wield and use it, the same with dual wielding them.

TWO_HANDED refers to a size below which the weapon must be two-handed.

MINIMUM_SIZE doesn't mean they can't wield it, just that they can't effectively.

does TWO_HANDED prevent the wielder in dual wield (using two weapon in both hand)? since i try to dual wield on creature that have below size of it but it can wield and attack in dual wield. or it also mean for the effectiveness of attacking with that ?

You are always able to wield a sword one handed or two handed, the tokens just add penalties.

A creature smaller than TWO_HANDED but bigger than MINIMUM_SIZE will get penalties when not holding a weapon two-handed, smaller than MINIMUM_SIZE will get penalties when wielding at all. Larger than TWO_HANDED will be able to dual wield or hold in one hand without penalty.
