MainGauche in HTH differs Melee vs ITL

Hi,
In Legacy Melee the MainGauche in HTH does 1-1 while the Dagger does 1+2. While in ITL in HTH they both do ST based damage +3.

This means in Melee, the MainGauche (MG) had a trade off compared to the Dagger. You could use MG as a second weapon but means you were giving up HTH damage.

But in ITL, the MG has no trade off. It is identical to the Dagger in HTH but also adds parrying and second attack capability in normal combat. The only aspect the Dagger adds is it may be thrown.

Bottom line is that the MG damage is inconsistent from Melee to ITL. In that it is either inferior to the dagger or the same. I understand that ITL has the improved HTH, but MG relative to Dagger damage should be consistent. So, either in Melee MG should do same HTH damage, or (and I like this better) in ITL reduce the HTH damage for the MG by 1 or 2.

-kind regards
