Hello there!
So, playing through the prologue again and ran into what appears to be a bug. Not sure if it's been reported, but a quick check makes me think it hasn't been.
HoS version 1.1.11
Bug Report
Seems the bug could be in one of two areas related dual wielding. When making an attack with less than optimal AP, Vraes (the Outlander) will attack with one weapon only. This is fine, but it appears that his damage does not scale down.
For example; Vraes is wielding a Training Sword (2 ap) and a long knife (1 ap), if he attacks with just 2 ap remaining he'll still deal 30+ damage in my game.
Possible Solution Well, seems you could either lock dual wielding attacks to their total required AP or try to figure out how to disable the off-hand damage if AP is not sufficient. I like the second option better because if you lock dual wielding to only using both weapons then Vraes will usually only be able to attack once a turn. If dual wielders absolutely required their total AP cost to attack then the negatives of dual wielding (extra AP cost) would outweigh the positives (extra damage) because there would be functionally no difference at all to just attacking twice for the same AP cost. If you are considering locking dual wielding to the total required AP maybe let Vraes have a way of reducing the AP cost of the off-hand weapon? A skill or talent of some sort?
