Anyone have info on this? I can't find a copy of #275, but I've learned the relevant stats. However, the fact that you can make two attack rolls for each attack is very odd. I know that only half your strength bonus applies, but is it worded such that sneak damage, weapon specialization, etc only apply once (as per shuriken)? I wouldn't think so, since you're making two actual attack rolls each time, rather than one roll for both.
But ye gehods! They're 1d4 small weapons. Why on earth wouldn't every rogue spend a feat on these puppies and sneak attack twice as often?
Two weapon fighting with two of these - that's 4 attacks at 2nd level (Human Rgr 1/Rog 1) doing 1d4+1d6+.5 str each time.
At higher levels, you have a rogue wielding flaming shocking crescent knives in each hand, doing 1d4+1d6+1d6+4d6 each attack when flanked! ACK! Even if your iterative attacks miss, you've got 4 attacks at fairly high bonuses for your first shots. 6d6+1d4? Eugh. Anything that doubles your attacks is just nasty.
Anyone know how this is set up, and played with these?
