Welcome to Gaia! ::

I was reading one of the manuals the other day and saw a little varient rule. I wanted the opinion of another DM.

The rule is regarding Twin, or Sister weapons. Two weapons that were forged back to back within 24 hours of each other.

Quick recap of the rule is when using both weapons together the wielder suffers no penalty for using two weapons.

The weapon set i wanted is really quite simple...

Weapon 1: Finger Dagger.

dmg : 1d4 + Base Unarmed dmg + poison DMG on 2 consecutive attacks
Attack Modifier: 0
Requirements: Monk or Exotic Weapon Proficency or Improved Unarmed Combat

weapon 2: (More Complex)

Fan style shield. solid bar the length of a fore-arm that has a mithral mesh between each Frette of the fan. The fan opens up to a full circle and links back into the main bar on the fore-arm. There is a leather strap that is bound to the palm of the hand to give it more control. The under-side of the fore-arm with the fan section contains a very small and very simple version of a Zip-Gun. Basically uses a cross-bow style design to launch sling bullets. These bullets are hollowed and can be attacked as a free-action by the finger dagger to place venom inside the bullet.

DMG: 1d4 + poison
Attack Modifier: -4 to hit
Range Incriment: 10 feet

Shield AC +2
Arrow Deflection Bonus +2

I cant remember what manual off the top of my head. I believe it was the same one that introduced the twin pistol set referred to as Love and Hate.
