    Yes, that is the best way of describing a two bladed sword. It is one weapon but uses proficiencies for two weapon fighting.

    Of the Sorcerer's games, I only have BG2 installled. Awhile ago, I would have said katanas, but with ToB, I've found a new respect for the Scimitar group.

    For me it goes partly by name, so the Blade of Roses is enough to make me take a point in scimitars or recruit someone who has proficiency. Although, "Hindo's Doom" is very evocative too.
