When using the Two-Weapon Combat option do you also add your Brawn for melee weapons as normal? I only ask because the book does not specify this explicitly. It only says " Each hit deals its weapon's base damage plus one point of damage per uncanceled success."

I think in this situation the base damage includes brawn, considering the base damage for Melee Weapons is always formatted as a + value.

Somewhere, the book actually calls out "base damage" as '+x + Brawn' for weapons written '+x'. So, Brawn is part of the base damage.

Quote

If the weapon is a weapon that has a damage that is added to one of the user’s characteristics (usually Brawn), then the base damage is the weapon’s damage plus the user’s characteristic.

Quick question - If I first read the title of this thread as " Do you get brain damage when dual wielding " should I get glasses? Or was I subconsciously interjecting something into the context?

I came here with this very question…

Lucky Strike (Int) talent, maybe?

I first read the title as, "Do you get brain damage when dual wielding?" then quickly jumped in here to be somewhat disappointed.

Carry on.

I've seen enough terrible Sith Marauders in SWTOR to answer this question with a resounding "yes".
