Furthermore, under Pathfinder rules, Flurry of Blows is Two-Weapon Fighting (except it doesn’t actually require you to use two weapons). As such, the idea is you cannot use it and Two-Weapon Fighting at the same time. If this is the case, there is absolutely zero benefit to having two weapons, except I guess the ability to pick which one you want.

Why I love Hero Points but hate advantage (a.k.a. a discussion about 2d20 mechanics)
So I've started actively encouraging and throwing my players more Hero Points in my previous couple of sessions.

Introduction
- Like any TWF build, the Two-Weapon Warrior depends on making multiple attacks with low individual damage. Compared to a TWF Rogue, the Two-Weapon Warrior has better AC and a higher attack bonus, but typically falls short in terms of damage. By making some clever choices, we can greatly close the damage gap between the TWF Rogue and the Two-Weapon Warrior. Th…

Fighter Class Features

Two-Weapon Warrior Features

Still, most attacks against you will be melee attacks, and you will (hopefully) be full attacking most of the time. Twin Blades(Ex): Basically weapon training when you full attack. It’s unfortunate that it doesn’t apply to attacks of opportunity, charges, or Doublestrike, but it works …
