Just asking for some clarification on the Barbarian. I didn't play that much of 2E back in the day outside of BG and the like so my knowledge of it is limited.

The game says Barbarians can invest up to three points in the Two Weapon fighting style, and up to two points in the others. Is this a typo? Should it say Two Handed style instead, or were 2E Barbarians more a whirling dervish type of fighter?

It's not a typo. Fighters and Barbarians can max all weapon styles.

Ah, I see my confusion then. I was thinking that it meant the Barbarian could specialize further into dual wielding than the other styles. I didn't realize that 3 was the max for Two Weapon Style but the others maxed at only 2. Thank you.
