DUAL-WIELD

The dual wield skill permits you to wield two weapons at the same time. You will get a possible extra attack with the second weapon if you succeed. The second weapon can be wielded normally just like your primary weapon. You cannot, however, hold something or use a shield while dual wielding. In addition, the total weight of both of the weapons plus an additional 20% of the weight of the second weapon must not exceed your regular wielding weight limit.

In addition, if you fail any of your primary attacks (fail as in fail to get as opposed to failing to hit), you will get a shot at the attack with your dual wielded weapon.

The Improved Dual Wield skill will give you an an additional attack with your dual wielded weapon and also increase your overall dual wielding skill. Greater Dual Wield adds another dual wield attack as well and further increases your overal dual wielding skill.
