Dual Wielding is an idea many people familiar with real weapon fighting are allergic to. It really would be ineffective used by almost anyone. I'm still concerned about the feat, though. People keep repeating taking 18 dex is same damage at better accuracy on YouTube. Is It only viable after maxing out dex? And, wouldn't that mean the feat is really bad?
A little bit, yeah. Taking the feat is
mechanically worse than improving your Dex...with some caveats.
- If you have multiple magical rapiers but less-powerful and/or fewer shortswords, then you might want this feat.
- I'm ignoring the "you can draw or stow *two*-one handed weapons" aspect of the feat, which is irrelevant for BG3 afaik but might be important in tabletop depending on how strict your DM is.
