Ranger - Archer path, only -2 dual wield penalty.

[Invader_Nym]

I receive only a -2 dual wield penalty as a pure ranger despite having the archer path and no dual wield feats. This is, I presume, a bug? I only get 1 offhand attack, mind you, but the penalty as I said is only -2. It'd be groovy if we kept it that way, to be honest! 2 feats (ambidexterity, 2-weapon fighting) to get 1 extra attack and have all your attacks penalized at -2 isn't what I'd call a screaming deal.

I don't think it's a bug, though. Quoted from NWN wiki: "This feat serves only to inform the player; the benefits are hardcoded to the ranger class." This to me suggests it's impossible to remove without haks. If my assumption is correct, I guess that means if somebody dips only 3 levels into Ranger, it's always better to go with the Archer path. Otherwise the bonuses diverge since level 4 depending on the path.
