Single Weapon Fighting
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.
Improves the Hit Point bonus of Heroic Durability.
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.
- Bastard Swords and Dwarven War Axes apply 1.1x your relevant Ability Score Modifier to damage. This stacks with the bonuses from Improved and Greater Single Weapon Fighting.
- You cannot wear a shield and benefit from the Single Weapon Fighting feats unless the character is Single Weapon Fighting and has the Swashbuckler enhancement 'Skirmisher' and is in Swashbuckling Stance. Then a buckler can be used in the offhand.
- The Single Weapon Fighting feat is mutually exclusive with both Two Handed Fighting and Two Weapon Fighting feats.
- Rangers can get this feat at character creation, but not later, and this charater has both feats after taking Ranger level 2. The Ranger then benefits from the stacking HP bonus to Heroic Durability and the bonus to Offhand Hit chance applies to Single Weapon Fighting (in case of wielding an orb).
