Also I think a talent that increase dodging, movement, initiative and stances buffs with off hand which would empower the no off hand play. Stances should go off of singlehanded of course

I really don't know how balanced this would be but to me I always wanted a single handed no off hand character to be thing since the first one. The stance idea came from shadowrun hong kong Gaichu where different stance are needed in different situations. I also think the single hand drawback should be Two Handed warrior AoE damage, Dual Wield daggers more damage to an enemy and Sword and Board more defense. So why not a cc or utlity weapon that can fit damn near in any team. I think stance should work like polymorph or Fane's mask where it cost 1 ap to use and one can only be activated at a time.


Just a suggestion but either way I do love the bard and artificer skills add a new layer i never knew I needed. Edit: Just wanted to say I also don't know if this is possible but sounds cool in my head.
