    [​IMG] I started a quest with a Cleric/Ranger, but abandoned it because I couldn't duel wield the hammer and mace you get at the beginning. It told me that I had a two-handed weapon equipped. Am I the only one?

    Heh, Blackthorne, neither of these duals as a missile weapon! :D

    [​IMG] Heh, heh... Did you happen to have a two-handed weapon in one of your quick weapon slots? I haven't heard of anyone who had dual-wield problems with the typical weapons...

    Naw man, just the aforementioned War Hammer and Mace. The game just wasn't havin' it. I cleared his inventory of everything else and still, no dice. Maybe it was a one time glitch? Perhaps I'll try it again.

    P.S. What is the stronghold for a cleric, a room in any particular temple?

    [​IMG] I'm not sure which mace and hammer you're talking about, but I think I've read on these boards something about the inability to dual wield when one of the weapons can also be thrown. Is that hammer (or mace) a magic one that returns when thrown? If so, I don't think you can dual wield with it.

    If not, dunno.

    They're just ordinary, mundane weapons. No magic or bonuses to damage or THAC0. I'm referring to the weapons first found in Irenicus' dungeon.

    that is a weird problem

    dumb question, but is it patched? u probably are... just checking.

    i managed to dual wield with a normal Cleric with a Warhammer and Mace from Irenicus' dungeon... so i have no idea why it won't let you do that.

    The only other thing i could suggest is starting the game again and trying again.

    Otherwise? urm... Shadowkeeper maybe?

    About strongholds: Maybe it depends in which order you do the quests (so save a game when you´re ready) but you should be able to get both strongholds for rangers and clerics.
    The cleric stronghold is in the temple of your alignments god (means: evil-Talos/ neutral-Helm and good-Lathanter. For rangers have to be of good alignment Lathander´s is your place :)

    I had a similar problem when trying to dual wield Azure Edge and Daystar.

    [​IMG] Now Tal, why did you go and dredge that unpleasantness up again? He said in the original post that neither duals as a missile weapon... ;)

    Yes, my game is patched, as you assumed, although I hope there is a newer one. I believe it's dated the 14th of December. I'll probably try it again, though not for a while, because I'm running with a straight Ranger right now.

    How forgetful of you Tal, I was certain you'd remember the sparks from that one. The newbie that came in swinging, though I'm sure I'm not the only one. :D

    Well I had a fighter and I dualed him to a cleric. He never had any problems dualing maces and war hammers together. Your problem sounds quite unnatural. Try a remove curse spell on your BG2 CD's :D
