minotaur question

if minos are giant sized how come they cannot dual wield any 2h items other than axes? like for example a 2h mace and a 1h dagger?

Correct me if I'm wrong but they should be able to, most giants can use a 2h in one hand, a 1h in the other. Minotaurs can use a 2h axe in each hand as a racial perk. I haven't played a mino in a long time.

There was a recent change that disallowed the use of priming a lighter 2h weapon over a heavier 1h weapon. Maybe you were doing this by accident?

Minos have always had this problem I believe. With exception to axes ofcourse.

I don't think thats true.

Minos should be able to wield two handed weapons in their first hand.

And two two-handed axes at the same time.

If things are not like that, then I think that's a bug.

The axe thing only works if Its two axes.

As for any other 2 handed you can't dual wield a 2nd item like a 4str dagger.

Minotaurs are NOT Giant sized. Eight feet tall, and you want a pole arm in your right hand? Ridiculous. IMO

Some daggers are pretty heavy.

Rokujan is like 20.

Check if it's not a weight thing.

Although normally weight means you need more STR to wield, this rule has exceptions.

You can no longer use a twohanded weapon in your offhand.

Exception: minos can dual wield any axes as a racial bonus.

Edit: re Jibber just below my post: it was not a bug, we decided to make an exception as a racial bonus.

Minotaurs ARE giant sized. There was a bug before (which was just squashed on 11/03/2010) that didn't allow a minotaur to dual wield a two-handed axe, because of the not allowing giants to dual-wield two-handed items.

As for staffs/polearms being dual wielded in off-hand -- this hasn't been allowed -ever-, except before Viri fixed it, I believe.

For the game Minotaurs are the same size as giants.

What you put on the description is another thing.

Mya Rokujan is 4 str.

No it's not.

Rokujan is either 16 or 17 str

rokujan requires 17 str to wield in your primary hand.
