Two-weapon Fighting

When you fight with two weapons (see the rules for fighting with two weapons), you gain the following benefits instead of the normal rules for fighting with two weapons for you:

  • When you have a free hand, your unarmed strikes count as simple melee weapons with the light property for this fighting style.

  • You can add your ability modifier to the damage of the additional attack you make when fighting with two weapons.

  • When you make an opportunity attack wielding two melee weapons, you can make two attacks as part of the opportunity attack if the target is within both weapon’s reach - one with each weapon.

  • When you make an attack with a one-handed weapon you are wielding in one hand, you can make an additional attack with another one-handed weapon you are wielding in another hand as a bonus action. Alternatively, you can make this additional attack without having to spend a bonus action if the weapon is a light or small melee weapon. You can only make an additional attack for fighting with two weapons once on each of your turns.
