    My thoughts on dual-weapon combat:
    1. You can equip two weapons that have no LIGHT label even if you don't learn TWO-WEAPON FIGHTING; But if the weapons don't have LIGHT label, even if you have  PROFICIENCY  in both weapons, there is no PROFICIENCY bonus in the ATTACK ROLL (a person will know how to hold two weapons even if he does not know how to use two weapons to fight)
    2. After learning TWO-WEAPON FIGHTING, and if you have PROFICIENCY in both weapons when using dual-weapon fighting, there will be PROFICIENCY bonus in ATTACK ROLL
    3. When you take the attack action, you attack with both weapons as part of the same action.The ATTACK ROLL and DAMAGE ROLL are  both only carried out once.  And the attribute adjustment value is only added once
    (Longsword(1d8) for the left hand, handaxe(1d6) for the right hand, and 16 for strength, It is equivalent to that you are equipped with a 1d8+1d6 weapon,then the DAMAGE ROLL is 1d6+1d8+3 instead of 1d8+3 and 1d6)

      Hey, so interesting ideas:
      1-2. I agree realistically anyone can hold and swing 2 rapiers or 2 longswords, but that would not really mean they are proficient if they have not practiced fighting that way. I am not sure how much of a difference that would make mechanically in the game though, lowering to hit chance, for just a slight damage buff.
      3. For this one, mechanically the math comes out the same whether it's 1d6+1d8+3 or 1d8+3 and 1d6. I would like to see it all streamlined into one number, but I will admit my modding skills are not good enough to actually accomplish that right now.

      have a new idea
      Before learing TWO-WEAPIN FIGHTING, the Two-weapon fight is the same as the default of the game. Use one action  to attack with mainhand  , and use one bonus action to attack with offhand; After learning TWO-WEAPIN FIGHTING style, you attack with both weapons as part of the same action. In short,learning TWO-WEAPIN FIGHTING style make you  save a bonus action,

      Also not a bad idea but the issue with that is characters who get two-weapon fighting style such as fighters or rangers, would get a massive damage buff by adding their ability score modifier twice per attack.

    Hi BirdzlittleHelper

    Have you looked at my mod playertestua?
    It implements two weapon fighting per OneDnd rules. It might give you some ideas.

      Thanks for the reply, I will check your mod out! The problem I am having right now is getting the dual wielder feat to add proficiency bonus to damage. Adding the damage is easy, but I can't seem to get it to work exclusively when using the offhand weapon.

      For example:
      IF(IsAttackType(AttackType.MeleeWeaponAttack)) works, but for whatever reason IF(IsAttackType(AttackType.MeleeOffHandWeaponAttack) does not work. But in spells_target the spell roll for the offhand attack is MeleeOffHandWeaponAttack. The only workaround I have found thus far is just adding the bonus to every melee or ranged attack, and then halving the bonus damage.

      Edit:
      Just took some time to look over your mod, I see you set the offhand attack to require conditions, which is pretty smart, that might actually fix both my proficiency bonus damage problem, and get rid of the offhand attack button! Are you okay with me borrowing that?
