"DUAL WIELDING" DUALWIELDING

Class: Fighter, Barbarian, Dreadlord, Paladin, Ranger, Valkyrie, Samurai

There are many advantages to the skill DUAL WIELD:

1. Allows you to hold items larger and smaller than if you do not have this 
   skill.  (See HELP SIZE)
2. Lowers the Strength and Dexterity requirement to hold weapons (by roughly
   0.5 strength and 1 dex per rank of dual wield).
3. Under normal circumstances, weapons must be specifically designed as
  "holdable" to be held. Dual wield will allow some weapons that are not
   designed as "holdable" to be held.  
4. This skill will increase your offhand weapon attack rate.  (See COMBAT)
   The higher your rank, the more offhand attacks you will get.

Usage: There is no usage for this skill.  Once practiced, you will automatically
       receive the above benefits.
