Small shield giving -10 accuracy

[Flaboere]

Hey, I'm playing a mage, who's right using a certain unique soulbound 1-handed sword that talks. However, when I equip a shiled in my offhand, I get -10 accuracy, even though the shield only says it gives -2 or -4 (don't remember which). And I don't see anything on the sword saying it should not be wielded with a shield!

 

What gives?

Hey, it's because single wielding a one-handed weapon gives +12 accuracy. So if you put anything at all in the offhand, you lose that 12 accuracy

That said, I'm fairly sure as far as your spells are concerned, you weren't getting that bonus accuracy for them anyway. Unless I've forgotten how this game works.

Ahh, ok, that makes sense, thanks
