Automatic -twohand breaks SS off-hand AC

Post by Good Character » Wed Jan 13, 2021 7:09 pm

Description of Bug Experienced:
Weapons that automatically trigger -twohand (i.e. bastard sword, katana, oddly kama?, etc.) forces the spellsword off-hand AC to not trigger. It believes, even when you turn off -twohand, that something remains in your off-hand.


Steps to reproduce the Bug:
1. Have no shield or off-hand weapon equipped.
2. Equip any weapon that utilizes -twohand.
3. SS weave/off-hand AC will go away.
4. Need to equip a non-twohand weapon to remove the bug. Removing the -twohand will not be enough.

Expected Result:
Deactivated -twohand would allow SS weave AC to be used.

Actual Result:
SS weave AC is removed permanently until a non-twohand weapon is equipped.

This is currently working as intended.

Spotted the kama changed. Though, is it intended even when you manually deactivate -twohand?

I understand it works this way:

Equip two-handable weapon, you initially wield it two-handed not getting the SS offhand empty AC.
Type (or macro) -twohand and now you're wielding the weapon as a one-handed weapon and you get the SS offhand empty AC.

Side note, being able to switch out ~5 AC without waiting for a round change for expertise or getting a weapon swap penalty is super nice.
