Message: <blockquote data-quote="Water Bob" data-source="post: 5621219" data-attributes="member: 92305">I've explained it several times.  It boggles the mind how you can't understand (I didn't say agree with) my point if you've read any of the preceding pages in this thread.   I'll explain the position one more time for you, and then I'm done.  If you can't understand this, then you'll just have to "not be nice" and go off in a tiffy. 1 - The rules allow a 1st level Fighter to hold a hand axe in each hand and then throw them at separate targets, using a penalty. 2 - It is not logical that the hand axes are thrown simultaneously because the penalty would be greater to pull something like this off, throwing at separate targets in separate directions. 3 - The combat round is six seconds long, and it takes the entire round to throw both hand axes.  The character can perform no other actions except for Free Actions.  Therefore, throwing the two hand axes takes about six seconds of time. 4 - A 1st level archer can move 30', draw an arrow, nock it, aim, and let flow the arrow at a target in about the same amount of time. 5 - Therefore, it seems logical, based on the above points, that an archer should be able to give up his move and instead fire two arrows in the same amount of time.   6 - I suggest that aiming and throwing a hand axe at a target takes about the same amount of effort and time as it does an archer to nock, aim, and loose an arrow.  Therefore, if two hand axes can be thrown, then two arrows attacks should be allowed (at a similar penalty).   I know you're not being "nice" with me anymore, because that's what you said above. Well, read what I wrote above three or four times if you have to, because therein lies my point.</blockquote>
