• [NH variants] Experience in two-weaponing?

    From Janis Papanagnou@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jun 27 15:20:15 2024
    At the moment I'm playing the variant "notnotdNethack", but the
    two-weaponing logic might have been inherited by other variants.

    When I was trying to build up my two-weapon proficiency I noticed
    that I constantly miss, despite my weapon skills were trained (at
    Skilled) and my primary artifact weapon (a scimitar) enchanted to
    +5. My secondary weapon was the +0 Cleaver at Expert proficiency.

    With that combo I could not place a single hit (even at low-level
    monsters). So I switched my off-hand weapon to a mundane scimitar,
    and that way I eventually got two-weaponing to Skilled.

    Switching back to my two-artifacts two-weapon setup I now hit at
    least occasionally, but still very rarely.

    What shall I do to make two-weaponing work with this NH variant?
