By default it gives you a free off-hand attack for each main-hand attack you do with a small damage buff. Many alternative options available.

Description:

Dual wielding/Two-Weapon fighting feels quite weak in D&D 5e and Baldur's Gate 3.

This mod aims to buff dual wielding weapons in a vanilla way by changing the following:

[]When you make a main-hand attack, you automatically attack with your off-hand without spending any bonus action. Make sure the dual wield attack toggle below your melee/ranged toggles is on.

[]If you do not have the Two-Weapon Fighting style(The passive ability from fighters, rangers, bards, paladins etc.) or Dual Wielder feat:

After you use up your bonus action(s) (off-hand attacking or jumping etc.) before you even make a main-hand attack, the game disables dual wielding for the turn, and you cannot automatically attack with your off-hand in main-hand attacks anymore. Thus you cannot take advantage of the action economy of this mod, unless you use main-hand attack first before bonus action like jumping. This is still much better than vanilla. This is due to a limitation with the game, but I think it turns out to be a good way to motivate people to get TWF/DW to get free off-hand attacks even after using bonus action:

[*]If you do have the Two-Weapon Fighting style or Dual Wielder feat:

If your dual wielding toggle is turned off either by you or forced by the game: After a main-hand attack, the off-hand attack action is modified to 0 cost for one attack, and is highlighted by glowing icon visually similar to the extra attack at lvl5. Note that the off-hand attack would be in the common actions panel and not be in the bonus action section any more when it's modified to be free. You might want to toggle dual wielding off, for example, if your enemy only has 1 HP left and you don't want to waste a full attack on them. The mod also remembers up to 3 off-hand attacks for you, so you don't have to do off-hand attack immediately after main-hand attack, making combinations such as main-main-off-off attacks possible.

If your dual wielding toggle is turned on:  You might catch the off-hand attack icon glow then stop. If you used an action, such as a special attack move, that doesn
