For thieves who use two weapons, it is not feasible to attack simultaniously
with both weapons.  When two weapons are used, one is normally a parrying
weapon and is used in the weaker hand.  The parrying weapon gets only
half of the characters regular strength bonus, and when two weapons are
used, there are penalties to both weapons given in the DMG.  I allow
a character to attack with either their main weapon or their parrying
weapon, but not both.  A character may attack with a weapon while at the
same time parrying with the other, this is the whole purpose of carrying
two weapons.
