D&D 5E Dual Wielding Feat and Rapiers

[Trit One-Ear]

Hey all,

Trying my hand at a Rogue 5/Fighter 5 build focused around dual-wielding and defense.

If I'm reading the rules right, after taking the Dual Wielder feat, there is nothing to stop me from dual-wielding two rapiers, correct?
As a finesse fighter, that seems the most effective way to dual wield in 5E at the moment (especially after taking the Two-Weapon Fighting feature from Fighter).

That is correct.

 

[Trit One-Ear]

Thanks!
It honestly seems a little silly, two rapiers, which is the only reason I asked.

I too which that there was better support for rapier-and-dagger fighting (e.g), but I understand there are some historical traditions that used this:


and for those who have a-studied their Agrippa (which I have):

Naturally. Then you can attack with Capo Ferro.

What are the penalties for attacking left handed?

What are the penalties for attacking left handed?

None,unless your dm rules something. Rules have not touched on subject of handedness or their effects.

 

[Sage Genesis]

What are the penalties for attacking left handed?

None, although there are penalties for fighting simultaneously with both main- and off-hand. Namely you do less damage with the odd-hand.

I suggest you take a look at this handy website WotC have set up if you have any other basic rules questions:

More importantly, what are the penalties for attacking left-handed if you aren't really left-handed? Are there penalties if you have six fingers on your right hand?

And, of course, if you go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line, do you have Disadvantage in the battle of wits?

Thanks. This is what I was (poorly) going for.
