An assumption is that the melee attacks of monks and rangers is somewhat reduced by the added difficulty of double sliding. That isn’t a thing under current VTD rules.

If anyone made this point and I missed I apologize.

To make up for it, maybe the second swing should be at -5 or have a 50% chance of auto-missing or something.

this would actually be ideal for VTD because its easier to implement in the app that it is in the dungeon. In 2nd ed, I believe a Ranger with 2 proficiency points in 2 weapon fighting would have a -4 to the offhand attack. Maybe stick with a -4 to the offhand attack roll?

Be careful of anything easy to do in the app but hard to transition back to real life. At some point I would hope our plan is to go back to real life, and I would rather not be dependent on apps when that happens.

In real life, people actually have to slide with their offhand. Many times I’ve seen rangers end up way short or fly off the back of the board with their pucks.

Of course, most of those were red and under gen con only players... I’ve never played with an invested ranger veteran

My buddy plays Ranger and is Amazing and every bit as good offhand as main hand.
