Hi again,

I was paying close attention to my characters stats showing their # of attacks, and I found that when they reach a weapon proficiency of around 50 they are given a second attack. Then some other factors determine the multiple strikes per attack.

Sslar finally got a second attack (only hitting once each time, but he packs a WHALLOP!), and his Sword skill was around 50 as well, but he got this just after a fight where his skills went up. It didn't have anything to do with getting an experience level. Not sure what his Close Combat skill level was, or if this is a factor here (it more than likely is I think).

Evenstar (as a Ninja) had a Martial Arts skill of 54 and a Close Combat skill of 39 when she obtained a second strike for her attack (again, after a big fight when he stats went up). Now, all of her attacks can hit twice, and she gets three attacks per round (2 for kicking, and one for punching). Sometimes she punches twice and kicks once, or vice versa. Just this small change made her go from a so so scrapper to a butt kick'n fighting machine!

I still don't see many critical hits, and she has a rating in this up in the high 60's.

Anyone else observe this for their characters? I'm trying to understand how this works but I don't know that much about it. Learning is half the fun though. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Saz, any ideas here?

Best,

Scronan
