Master of Two Weapons[edit]

All fighters have a specialty, the Master of Two Weapons is better at fighting with two weapons than any other character. As a master of two weapons you exchange the variety of your bonus feats for proficiency with two-weapon fighting. You have studied exclusively with this fighting style and as a result, the penalties usually incurred by the use of two weapon fighting are now your strengths.
- Ambidexterity
When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you can draw or stow two weapons using the same action you would to draw or stow only one.
In addition, whenever you take the Dash, Dodge or Disengage action, you can make an attack with a one handed weapon as a bonus action. You must be wielding a melee weapon in each hand in order to do so.
- Oversized Two Weapon Fighting
Starting at 7th level, you consider any weapon that lack the heavy and two-handed property as a light weapon for the purposes of engaging in two-weapon fighting.
In addition, when wielding a versatile weapon in one hand, you gain the benefits of the versatile damage die as if you were wielding it in two hands.
- Two-Weapon Defense Bonus
At 10th level, while engaged in two-weapon fighting, you gain a bonus of +1 to your AC.
In addition, on your turn, you can use your reaction to assume a parrying stance, provided you have the weapon in hand. Doing so grants you a +1 bonus to your AC until the start of your next turn or until you’re not engaged in two-weapon fighting.
- Monkey Grip
Starting at 15th level, you can wield melee weapons that have the two-handed property in one hand. In addition, you can engage in two-weapon fighting with these weapons as if they were light weapons.
- Master of Two Weapons
When you reach the 18th level, once per turn when you miss an attack with a weapon while engaged in two weapon fighting, you can reroll that attack.
