Default Re: [DF] Thief and Weaponmaster (Knife/Main-Gauche)

With WM: Knives, you get the bonus when using the Long Knife with the Shortsword skill and throwing knives with the Thrown Weapon (Knife Skill). If you had WM: Shortsword, then you wouldn't get the bonus when wielding the Long Knife with the shortsword skill, nor would you get it when throwing knives with the Thrown Weapon (Knife) skill.

B (forget the page, in skills under the weapon):

"Main-Gauche (DX/Average): Any weapon normally wielded with Knife or Jitte/Sai skill (see below), used in the "off' hand."

So if you happened to be ambidextrous, it most certainly includes all knives. If not, it apparently is only when you are using one in your weak hand, and since it's a harder skill, I presume you would not be getting the off-handed weapon penalty?

You still take the off-hand penalty when using Main-Gauche to attack, but you ignore the penalty for defending.
