The use of a net as a dueling weapon is the mark of the Retiarius, picured above. Since the trident is such a useless weapon in 5e, is just too tempting to fix the two things at once: Retiarius You are trained in the gladiatorial art of fighting with trident and net. In 5e some classes have fighting styles in order to be more effective with a particular type of weapon or technique. There are also feats that make you better with one style or the other. Feats like Sharpshooter, Polearm Master, and Great Weapon Master are some of the best feats in the game.
I just started playing dnd a few weeks ago, and I am now in two different sessions. Since my first session was a wild magic sorcerer with some very interesting home-brew wild surge mechanics, I wanted to try a more simple fighter build, so I made a Str-based dragon born fighter (especially since I ended up rolling a 19 in Str with the bonuses) . I thought dual wielding scimitars would be cool so I picked up Two weapon fighting. I went for the champion archetype at lvl 3, and now I've been hearing that TWF is a trap. I wanted to know if it is possible to make a Strength based Dual-Wielding work well through some multi-classing, or if I should just get the great weapons fighting style at lvl 10.
