two handed items?

[djtool]

I have noticed that when i equip a two handed item my other hand slot is still available. is this a bug or am I allowed to equip two items with some sort of penalty applied?

The graphic for the slot remains, but you shouldn't be able to place anything into it. It only disappears if the unit loses an arm.

can you lose both arms? I've never seen it, but I would hope so

I don't think so. At least, I've never seen or heard of it happening.

You can lose both arms, try the axes of evil on somebody.

excellent http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

the obvious followup is whether the nataraj can lose 4...

*frown*

I once equipped a Bane Lord with those axes, winged shoes and some other gear hoping for some quick dual-arm maiming, but it tended to outright kill rather than merely disarm its foes.

(So what do you do with an armless commander? Give him chi shoes?)
