Hi. I’m building a Warped One character and have a question about wielding two weapons while in Twisted Form. The text in the rulebook says:
Quote:
While you are in your enlarged form, your rage damage bonus is doubled. You can also wield two-handed weapons, even ones with the heavy property, in one hand. In addition, two-handed weapons without the heavy property and one-handed weapons with the versatile property have the light property while you wield them in your enlarged form.
However, you suffer disadvantage on attack rolls with weapons that would normally be one-handed or that normally have the light property.
The text here seems pretty clear that a Warped One in enlarged form could use two 1-handed versatile weapons (say, longswords) to engage in two-weapon fighting, but that doing so would have disadvantage on every roll, since the longsword does not have the two-handed property and thus would “normally be one-handed.”
Am I interpreting this correctly? Is the disadvantage only supposed to be for 1-handed weapons without the versatile property? It doesn’t explicitly say so, so I’m assuming it’s supposed to disadvantage all 1-handed weapons.
Warped Ones gain the Two Weapon Fighting style at 3rd level, but a strict reading of the text here implies that they would always get disadvantage on one or both of their rolls
unless they are wielding two greatclubs or two spiked chains, which are the only 2-hand melee weapons without the heavy property that I see in the core rulebook. (The optional dual wielding rule on p.215 suggests that a Warped One in twisted form could use a 2-handed heavy weapon in their main hand, but the rule specifies that the off-hand must attack with only a dagger or club, both of which get disadvantage while in twisted form.)
