[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 2810757, member: 3424"] Just off the top of my head. A very simple system. [B]The One Roll system:[/B] When you attack, you roll the d20 once. [B]How iterative attacks resolve:[/B] If you can attack twice in a round, subtract 5 from your attack roll. If you still hit, roll damage again (or double your damage, if you don't want to re-roll - choose before rolling for damage). If you can attack three or more times in a round, roll damage again (or increase your damage multiplier by 1) for every 5 points that your attack roll exceeds your target's AC, up to the number of attacks you have. [B]How two-weapon fighting resolves:[/B] Fighting with two weapons imposes a -8 penalty to your attack roll, or -6 if one weapon is light. The Two-Weapon Fighting feat reduces this penalty by 4 (-4 penalty or -2 if one weapon is light). If you have varying attack bonuses with your two weapons, average them and round down. If you hit, roll damage for both the primary and secondary weapons. Iterative attacks work as above, but for the secondary weapon, this is further capped by the number of iterative attacks you get with that weapon (one, if you do not have Improved Two-Weapon Fighting). [B]How criticals resolve:[/B] Only the first attack with your primary weapon has a chance to score a critical hit. Use the threat range of your primary weapon. [/QUOTE]
