Please don’t necro year old threads. Two weapon fighting is not a fighting style. It’s an option for all characters. (ANyone with two light one handed weapons and no shield in hand can make a second attack as a bonus action, but no damage modifier is added to damage dice for that attack.)
Your Fighting Style (under Features and Traits) shows Dueling. Two Weapon Fighting is just a bonus action anyone can take with the right weapons equiped (as ArwensDaughter explained). But TWF would cancel out your Dueling style because that requires you to be using only one weapon.
Or if they don't want to acknowledge main and off hands, call it second weapon attack or even two weapon attack.
Just changing "fighting" to "attack" is probably enough to cut these reports by more than half. It also makes a little more sense, you can't use your bonus action to do a fighting, but you can make an attack.
Because Two Weapon Fighting is also a fighting style. The only difference is that selecting that style allows you to add your modifier to the second attack. Every character sheet gets Two Weapon Fighting under bonus actions because everyone can do it, but only fighters with that style can add the modifier.
Not sure this applies but when i select Duelling as a warrior i see Two weapon fighting but when i export to PDF i see duelling

I wish WotC had named it better. This gets reported a lot because of that misunderstanding.
Agreed. Like Off-hand Weapon Attack or something.

The confusion on my side is the selector has a two hand fighting and dueling as an option.
You say that twf is an option. I’m confused at where it was selected if that’s the case.
