Weapon Master Question?

[kmdietri]

It says in the Sword and Fist Official Errata:

p. 39, Weapon Master & Ki Whirlwind

Change: "You can make a Whirlwind Attack as a standard action rather than a full attack option." To: Only one Whirlwind attack can be made per round.

My question is since Whirlwind Attack is a prerequesite for Weapon Master, and you can normally only make one Whirlwind attack a round. What exactly does this ability let you do? Or am I missing something?

Thanks

Normally whirlwind is a full round action. Ki Whirlwin allowsyou to use a move action to get into place then do the WWA in the same round. Also, with Haste you can use the partial action to do the WWA and then have a full round to do other things.

So the Official Errata shouldn't say "change", it should say "add"?

So it's still a standard action but you can only do one Whirlwind Attack per round, no matter how many Standard actions you have (via haste etc.)??

Sounds like a typo, does'nt make sense unless you indeed use ''add''.

Correct

IIRC in order to do a whirlwind attack you need to take a full attack action, which is more then a standard action since you can only move 5' max with a full attack action. Ki whirlwind let's you do it as a standard action which means you can move up to your full allotment of movement and then to the attack, or do the attack and then move up to your normal move.
