   * In addition to the targeting disadvantage, a target behind an arrow slit is automatically minimum AC 21.
   * Shooting into a melee that includes an ally is at disadvantage, and roll of a 1 hits the ally.
+====Two-Weapon Combat====
+  * Instead of fighting with a shield or two-handed weapon, some fighters use a weapon in each hand.
+  * Neither weapon may be a two-handed weapon (obviously), neither weapon may be a spear.  Only one of the weapons may be a martial weapon.  This technique cannot be used on horseback.
+  * With the exception of a few class archetype features and special feature abilities, two weapon fighting usually does not grant a second attack.
+  * The dual wielder, instead, gains +1 to attack and gets to use the better of the two weapons' damage ratings and which of the two damage types (piercing, slashing or bludgeoning) might be more advantageous.
 ==== Disembodied Spirits, General Notes ====
   * Spirits, such as ghosts, demons, etc. are not corporeal and thus cannot attack or be attacked by physical means. No weapons, even magical ones can do any damage to them.  Holy Blessed weapons (see the 5th level Divine spell Holy Weapon) are the only exception.

-//Question: Does shooting ranged weapons into melee impose any disadvantage? For example, does it count as cover if an ally is standing between the shooter and the target? Does it count as cover even if the ally is on the far side of the target? --AHS//
