Notes

• See also:

  • Off-Hand Attack (Ranged)
  • Ranged Attack
• By default, only the weapon die is applied to off-hand attack damage. The  Two-Weapon Fighting fighting style is required to add the ability score modifier.

Bugs

• Male Dwarves have an erroneous animation map key bound to off-hand melee attacks initiated from outside melee range [1.5 m (5 ft)], resulting in a double attack when a specific combination of weapons is equipped:
  • The main-hand weapon must be Small1H (e.g., a Dagger)
  • The off-hand weapon must be Piercing1H (e.g., a Shortsword)
