Tips for GameMasters
Avoid Scripts - Don't try to run your favorite book, movie, or TV show episode as a linear adventure. The PCs are not the characters from the show. They won't make the same decisions. They'll find their own solutions to the situations they're presented with.

From the RPG Glossary...
Ambidextrious - (also: ambidextrous) the ability of a character to use their "off" hand (usually their left) as effectively as their main hand; the ability to wield two weapons at once, with a lesser penalty.
