Double-bladed sword

Would it be possible to make this a finessable weapon? High-dex/agility seems to fit this a whole lot more than high Str does.

Think Darth Maul (good balance/maneuverability, ie dexer) vs Conan or The Hulk (big, strong, not very quick)... which can you see with a double blade vs a normal?

Yup, taking a movie as an example isn't always the best way to go, but then again, we're talking here about a fantasy game. And nope I don't see the double bladed sword as a finesse weapon. You need strength to wield such a weapon accurately. A rapier is the biggest finesse weapon for a good reason. But then again, maybe you find the right ear of a Dev

See your point, but even if it were possible, I don't see it happening. If only parry worked, we'd give a bonus to parry to all double ended weapons...

Well, I'm trying to figure out how to make a Maul-type character, and I just can't come up with any other way to do it...

I still wish Quarterstaff worked the way it should (as a double weapon) and was actually a monk weapon. It would actually make quarterstaves usefull.

tLB has one... mamba's Matrix toon weilds a dire mace and does quite well!

but I do agree about the quarterstaff...that's definately a finesse-possible weapon, the problem is, bioware prolly hardcoded all that stuff so only a hack could alter it.
