In TT 5e, Duelist applies with a shield. The rule as written is "wielding a weapon in one hand and no other weapons" a shield is not considered a weapon. This makes it an outstanding choice for sword and board fighters though a lot of people assume it doesn't work with a shield. Wording in BG3 implied it only works with an empty hand, so good that it is working as it is supposed to even if the text is wrong.

They should add a "2 hand versatile" weapon toggle into the reaction tab though.


They had useless toggle for 1h-2h-wield

And Duelist is way more cooler than using Vers-weapon in two hands (1d8+2 > 1d10)
...but there is no Polearm Master Feat here I think and Spears/Staff are 2h only - this sucks in the terms of Duelist+PolearmMaster
