Hi Seyal,

4) How high does Dex/Spd have to get to in order to get more than
1 attack and swings per attack. My Valkyrie FINALLY got 2 attacks
but her Speed and Dex are lower than about 6 other party
members, but she's the only one with 2 attacks.

I'm still not 100% about this, but part of is having 50 in a particular weapon skill to get 2 attacks per round. Getting your weapon skill higher doesn't seem to help beyond that, but I may be wrong. Also, your ranged or close combat skill plays a role in this, to what end I'm not exactly sure. However, to get more strikes, you need to have dexterity, speed and a high inititiave. I also imagine some of the higher skills (Snakespeed, etc) will also help you get more strikes.

I have a level 11 Fighter who was doing 2 attacks with only one strike each. When I gave him the Diamond Epee (+4 Init, +3 to hit), he started doing 2 strikes. So, weapons with magical bonuses will help tremendously as they give the character bonus attacks.

I'm also thinking that it may all be based on the "to hit" and your weapon rating, which is affected by all the mentioned statistics. I'm eagerly awaiting one of the desingers to set me straight on this! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Some characters get bonus strikes in battle, like the Samurai's Lightning Strike skill, which will do 4 strikes if they call on that power. Its pretty cool to watch. [img]smile.gif[/img]
