Hello,

First of all, thank you for the answer!. Tt is quite informative and answers most of my questions. I am really sorry for their vagueness. Buy hey, is not this the reason we are not living in space already, misunderstanding each other?! So, I appreciate your efforts in getting my point.

Now to the unclarified part.

What is not clear? I have got two defined situations to compare. Me and THE foe. First case, I fight it wearing a shield and wielding my bare hand. Second, I fight it with both hands free. THE same foe, the same moment, the same everything. Am I more offensive in the second case? As far as I understood from your answers I am going to hit more often in the second case.

Mind you, I do not take other types of weapons into consideration now. I understand that hands are good when they are good. That is not the point of my interest.

I just try to understand specifics in how DUAL WIELD affects HAND TO HAND combat and effectiveness of related skills.

What is all my darn-long speach about? I tell you what! Do I?! Nah...I forgot what I was going to say. *grin*
