Two-Weapon Fighting D&D 2024

Revised for 2024 The D&D 2014 version differs. Read the D&D 2014 version.

In the 2024 rules, fighting with two weapons is a property of Light weapons rather than a rule of its own.

Light. When you take the Attack action on your turn and attack with a Light weapon, you can make one extra attack as a Bonus Action later on the same turn. That extra attack must be made with a different Light weapon, and you don’t add your ability modifier to the extra attack’s damage unless that modifier is negative. For example, you can attack with a Shortsword in one hand and a Dagger in the other using the Attack action and a Bonus Action, but you don’t add your Strength or Dexterity modifier to the damage roll of the Bonus Action unless that modifier is negative.

Two-Weapon Fighting (Fighting Style feat, prerequisite: Fighting Style feature). When you make an extra attack as a result of using a weapon that has the Light property, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of that attack if you aren’t already adding it to the damage.
