    [​IMG] Right, I know this might seem stupid, but is it right that, even though the swashbuckler can specialise, my number of attacks does not seem to go above 1? Surely I should be receiving a + 1/2 attack bonus due to specialisation.

    Is this bug or something I just have to live with?

    Only fighters, rangers and paladins receive extra attacks from weapon specialization. Kundane and Belm are your only options for extra melee attacks.

    IMHO long sword or katana. There is a lot of good magical long swords around, katanas are harder to get, but the Celestiar Fury rules :D . I do not use scimitars but this is also a possibility.

    Definetly go for Katana's. Celestial Fury is the best. The stunning effect is a life saver in many intances. If you solo with a swashbuckler, spec in Katana's and Hammers with two weapon style. Then, you'll have Crom Faeyr and Celestial Fury :D :D

    I definitely recommend you specialize as much as possible in the two weapon fighting style. Also go for long swords and katanas, like everyone else said, since the Celestial Fury is amazing and there's no shortage of great longswords.

    I would go for katana 'couse CF looks great and makes great effects ;) :D :D

    But i wouldnt go for Crom Faeyr. First it is too powerful (str25) , doest look cool dualed with katana :(

    Unless you play solo and wont to get quickly through it i dont recomend Crom Faeyr.

    Belm seems like a nice choice for me :D

    Scimatar Belm and short sword Kundane both give an extra attack. But, the the thing to remember is they give the extra attack to the primary hand. So I would for sure take Katana as your primary weapon, and short sword or scimitar for the offhand weapon.
