You gain a +1 bonus to AC while you are wielding a separate melee weapon in each hand
However, when I wield two weapons in character, AC doesn't Increase. Am I forgetting or missing something? Or does this increase to AC not appear on the final calculated AC?
Do you have an appropriate weapon on your character sheet that is equipped and flagged as dual wield?
Click on the weapon and in the sidebar, click on CUSTOMIZE. There is a box there for "dual wield" to signify that this weapon is dual wielded with another weapon.
You need to signal to the character sheet that the character is wielding two weapons - you can do this by selecting one of the weapons on the character sheet and then, in the sidebar, clicking on customise and checking the box for "dual wield"
Anyone else reading this thread from the future, you can now list your weapons as "dual wield." Click on the weapon itself, and click customize. Its a checkbox on the top right.
I took the feat duel wielding and have two melee weapons equipped but am not seeing the AC bonus populate. I had to override the AC. Can someone tell me what I’ve got wrong or if it’s a bug?
The Dual Wielder feat states:
However, when I wield two weapons in character, AC doesn't Increase.

Equip two weapons go in the attack section and customize one as off hand

Click on the weapon and in the sidebar, click on CUSTOMIZE. There is a box there for "dual wield" to signify that this weapon is dual wielded with another weapon.
If you have this, the +1 AC will show.

I wish fixes like this were flagged when picking the feat. I've had to learn so much from sheer trial and error.

I believe the Dual Wield Feat does not properly add +1 to the AC when having two weapons equipped. Figured I would say something.
You need to tag one weapon as dual-weapon wielding. Click on the weapon attack, then Customize.
That's all really. Added dual wielder feat but +1 AC was not added with it.

ModeratorYou need to set the dual wield flag on one of your weapons:

Dual wielder feat doesn't increase AC when you take it. Is this as intended, do I just have to add my own misc bonus?

ahh, perfect thanks!

You need to click on one weapon attack, then Customize, finally on Dual-Wield.

Click on Customize for a weapon, select Dual Wield. It’ll add it for you, and move the weapon to the Bonus Actions section.

Haven’t used this account in forever. Still a big fan of crawling claws.
I don't see a customize weapon option anywhere
