    But by the same token, that make TWF work well with Reckless Swings.

    So, here’s the way I always thought of it… Two-Weapon fighting (without the talent) is essentially 2 actions that cannot be separated.

    Two-Weapon Fighting (with the talent) is treated as two actions in order to keep consistency, but I also look at it as a single (2-action) Maneuver with a speed cost of +2 (0). As such, in my mind, you can take incidental movement once during the course of the TWF maneuver. (Mind you, this is my interpretation and not official.)

    Spinning Strikes is a maneuver which improves upon the Talent version of TWF. And it explicitly allows for an additional 5′ of movement between attacks, for a grand total of 15′ of potential incidental movement.

    If official word comes down, I’d be very interested, since my primary PC is a two-weapon fighter.

    I’ve always ruled it as you could only add 10′ of movement to the 2 actions. But incidental does say you can do before, after or during an action, so inbetween attacks shold be okay.

    Another reason and the main reason that TWF and it’s variants are considered 2 actions was because of damage boosters. Unbalancing Strike the action before a dual weapon attack would be devastating against a single foe. Same if you add in a smite infidel or an Avalanche rune and etc.
