I understand a few surprises are in store that are totally undocumented in the game and out of it. Such as certain weapon properties. The Sword of Defense has defensive capabilities. And the Spiked Shield has offensive.-just like Ultima V but no extra attack
just a couple of questions about something no one seems to have the answer to on google searches or otherwise.
the main gauge: In Ultima V you could wield it off hand to make an extra attack. I read somewhere it has defense of 1 in addition to the 2 damage In Ultima VII(the Black Gate) My question if you wield it off hand(In Ultima VII) do these to bonuses still apply? can you do extra damage added to your main hand's weapon. or must it now in Ultima VII be wielded in the main hand only?
if it could benifit wielding offhand that way, would make an excellent back up kit for Shamino as he always wets his pants in Ulitima VII and drops his bow and arrows!
do damage/attack bonuses stack with wielding a "Sword of Defense" and a spiked shield? I usually do this for my Avatar and Sentri.-assuming they do. But no idea.
just curious.

*** PS***I also assume Strength counts not only for weight and hit points but also(as in Ultima IV-VI) the penalties removed from the max potential damage of any given weapon, not just maces and bludgeons.(according to Codex Wiki).
does a 60 strength(Forge of Virtue) count as a x2 bonus? for the Black Sword beyond 30?

I believe you can find this information here: [url=https://wiki.ultimacodex.com/wiki/Weapon_values#Ultima_VII:_The_Black_Gate]https://wiki.ultimacodex.com/wiki/Weapon_values#Ultima_VII:_The_Black_Gate[/url]

Yes, both the Main Gauche and the Spiked Shield give bonuses to both your attack stat and your defense stat when held in the offhand.
