I'm not really good with what we currently have there either (and it has been a new feature in ED3 and is mainly meant to balance Avoid Blow with Parry, but messes with weapon balance), but we've had very little negative feedback on that (like, 4 people, and that includes me and now you). It might ...

That's what I get for being so literal. Forgetting that the Shield effectively becomes a weapon with Shield Charge, thus Second Weapon could be used in conjunction. That leads to some awesome flexibility! Thanks!!! Of course damage is important, this is more of a eternal mental exercise. My current ...

All good ideas, especially adding Ranks to the Talent counting twice. :) In the end, as one might expect, 2 Weapons is going to do more damage.

True... but not my point. Those would also empower a Buckler the same as a Body shield (Actually, Storm Shield also creates the shield out of the air). I'm weighing the benefits between a Shield Warrior and a 2 Weapon Warrior. Shield Charge and Second Weapon being the obvious key Talents in question...

Unlike those Talents, Shield Charge causes the situation to occur where you get to use it. Hence the confusion. It's too bad you don't add something from the Shield being used to the damage....

If you have a Weaponsmith in the party, refrain from allowing Knowledge skills from knowing how much things cost. That's what the Evaluate Talent is for (and it's a Discipline Talent for them).

How exactly do you use this Talent? Spend a Free Action to make an attack with your Shield (rolling Melee Weapons?) Can you still use your Standard Action to attack with your weapon? (This would seem to balance fairly well with Second Weapon) Or are you spending a Free Action and 1 Strain to modify ...
