Not every character will have a different Off-hand Weapon/Shield; some will use a Two-Handed weapon while others will use a pair of swords and a few others will keep their off-hand free for grappling or punching. However, when a different skill is used off-hand it is effectively a different class of weapon skill (mainly Shield or Main-Gauche skills) because that skill is almost never used as a primary weapon and is instead always paired with another primary weapon skill.
