    On the face, it does not. OTOH, I have a person in my game who said "Can I do this? Not use them at the same time, just have a blaster in one hand and a sword in the other?" I said yes. There has been no major difference.

    FWIW? Unless you're trying to shoot someone while stabbing someone else, I wouldn't make it a big deal.
