Revised Two-Weapon Fighting (5e Variant Rule)

Revised Two-Weapon Fighting

When you take the Attack action and attack with a weapon that you’re holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to attack with a different weapon that you're holding in the other hand. You don’t add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modifier is negative. Unless both of these weapons have the light property, you have disadvantage on the attack roll you make as a bonus action.

This is intended to be simpler and less restrictive than the normal rules for two-weapon fighting.

Changes to Dual Wielder

To accompany the less restrictive revision to two-weapon fighting, the following change is applied to the dual wielder feat:

• You can use two-weapon fighting even when the one-handed weapons you are wielding aren't light.
