[QUOTE="Woundweaver, post: 7604645, member: 36055"] A couple questions 1. Oversized weapons add an extra d6 to damage, are undersized weapons supposed to remove a d6 of damage? It just states that An undersized weapon is one size category smaller and weighs half the regular weapon. It seems like it is advantageous to have undersized weapons since they do the same damage and have half the weight. The only downside I can see of an undersized weapon is it would have less customization slots available, but compared to the oversized weapons it seems to get the extra d6 damage which is the equivalent of the Serrated blade customization without the cost or the downside of that customization. 2. Dual Wielding: Under the description for weapon size it says: The size of the weapon (tiny, small, medium, or large) can be used to determine one or two-handed use of a weapon, eligibility for two-weapon use and more. But I don't see place where it says what the eligibility for two-weapon use? Can a human dual wield two medium weapons or does it require a medium and small or does weapon size not have any eligibility for two-weapon use anymore? 3. Does Weapon Synthesis stack with Dual Wielding to give 4 attacks? Weapon Synthesis states: When using any Eastern weapon, you gain one free unarmed melee attack whenever you make two weapon attacks. Dual Wielding states: Instead, once per turn, it grants an additional attack as a free action if the wielder has attacked twice already in the round. Basically is Weapon Synthesis costing a free action to use? So the limit of 1 free action per round preventing these from stacking or is the free melee attack not considered a free action. [/QUOTE]
