Dual Weapon Style

Talents

You can fight with a weapon in your main hoof (your primary weapon) and another in your off hoof (your secondary weapon).

Effect

Neither can be a two-hoofed weapon, and the secondary weapon is considered to have a Minimum Body two die higher than normal (you’d need Body D6 to use a short sword as a secondary weapon, for example). Unless otherwise stated, your attacks come from the primary weapon.

Side/Secondary Effects

In addition, if you use the Activate Action, you get access to these abilities.

D4

Wielding two weapons can aid you in attack or defense. If you take the activate action, you can either roll this die on your melee attack rolls or on a Defense roll vs. melee attacks until the end of the encounter. You can switch the bonus you are taking with another activate action.

D8

You can perform the Lightning Attack stunt for 2 SP instead of the usual 3 but the extra attack must come from your secondary weapon.

D12

You can overwhelm opponents with blows from both weapons. If you make a melee attack with your primary weapon and you are not charging, you can make another attack with your secondary weapon as a minor action. The second attack cannot generate stunt points, and you have to use the lowest die value.
