That was how Nyde used to roll, hand crossbow and one-handed dagger. I definitely have logs of it in action if people want to see.

Send me logs. I will also run some tests on the old code sometime next week. I wont give any more opinions on this until I've seen both of these.

And I'd like to take the time to inform you that Baldric is wrong and you have not worked hard enough to satiate our lust for your life-force. Your sacrifices have been insufficient! The playerhive demands MORE. GIVE US YOUR BLOOD.

Sadly I don't have any logs to prove it. But I learned I could do it on Johanin back when stances were implemented. I also saw Nyde, Zellidon, and Reinald do it as well as did it on Bolden.

If it were put to vote (which it shoudln't) and my vote was the tie breaker (which it wouldn't) I would say swash/bard needed the upgrade and i'd rather lose it on rogue than see it taken away completely.

Just remembered I got a new computer, and my logs are all on my old one. May take a few days to dig them up.

I distinctly remember nyde wielding both dagger and crossbow. I thought they had always been able to do that.

They have for a very long time. If not always.

I went back to the old code.

Code:

You are using:
<right hand>         (Glowing) an ebony hand crossbow (superb)

[HP:100%] [ME: 62%] [PE:100%]
> wear dagger
You can't wield two weapons at once.

vs.

Code:

> eq
You are using:
<right hand>         a throwing dagger (brand new)

[HP:100%] [ME: 62%] [PE:100%]
> wear ebony
You hold an ebony hand crossbow in your hand.

This is a bug. It shouldn't have mattered which weapon was trying to be wielded in your off-hand. It should have told you that you can't wield two weapons at once, since you don't have dual wield.

Some things that should have tipped you off that this was a bug: It says 'hold' not 'wield' for the crossbow. It also doesn't give you a skill message such as "An ebony hand crossbow feels like a part of you!'.

This is still a bug today. I'll have the full fix so that rogues can't wield two weapons as soon as I have some time.

I can confirm doing this playing my rogue Zellidon because it was a great way to deal with mirrored images -- shooting three shots a round with a hand crossbow while circle stabbing/hamstringing. It was pretty useless for adding damage. For those who might ask, no I'm not playing this game I just felt like reading the forums.
