Dagger used as main gauche
A main gauche, if I understand correctly, differs from a dagger by its suitability for parrying. It has a wider guard or other defensive features, justifying its $10 cost more than the dagger.
Seems to me, then, that a fighter could use a dagger as a second weapon without two-handed weapon skill, since he can do so with a main gauche. He wouldn't block any damage but could get a second hit with DX -4. I don't reckon it's in the RAW but it seems a reasonable conclusion, no? Are there any other differences I'm missing between the two weapons? |
