Weapon Adaptation, under rules as written, doesn't require two skills, but it does require a style perk, which means 2000 hours of training. Does a Zhentish fencer start with one weapon and begiin learning the second only when quite proficient, or does he start out learning with a wooden weapon in head hand? Only in the latter case would a Signature Perk be necessary. No, it's not RAW, but I got the idea from the editor:

BTW, the thread also has some styles nominated for Forgotten Realms by Icelander.
