Icon Feat Single Weapon Fighting.png
Single Weapon Fighting

Description

While Single Weapon Fighting, you gain +10% Combat Style bonus to attack speed and +2 Combat Style bonus to Melee Power.

Single Weapon Fighting: Requires fighting with a single one-handed weapon, and wielding only an orb, runearm, or nothing in your offhand.

Does not function in animal forms.

Notes

  • Unlike most other bonuses, a Balance skill tome counts towards your total ranks for the purpose of qualifying for this feat. For example, a character with a +2 Balance tome can take this feat without spending any actual skill points. Note however that because tomes are not applied during the character creation screen, a player wanting to take this feat at level 1 will still need to spend skill points.
  • Common misconception is that you can wear a shield and still benefit from this feat. You cannot wear a shield and benefit from the Single Weapon Fighting feats unless the character is Single Weapon Fighting and has the Swashbuckler third tier ability Skirmisher and is in Swashbuckling Stance . Then a buckler can be used in the offhand.
  • The Single Weapon Fighting feat and Two Handed Fighting feat cannot be taken by the same character. The Single Weapon Fighting feat is mutually exclusive with the Two Handed Fighting feat. Single Weapon Fighting is also mutually exclusive with Two Weapon Fighting.

Bug: Right now it does allow a ranger to get both, but it's a bug, and will be fixed soon.

  • Unlike the 3.5 PnP version of this feat, your weapon of choice is not limited to light weapons.
  • The Single Weapon Fighting feats do not apply to thrown weapons.
