Message: <blockquote data-quote="hong" data-source="post: 3559003" data-attributes="member: 537">Because of the abstraction used by the rules to represent reality, yes. The fact that individual attack rolls only apply a single weapon enhancement is a long-standing wart in D&D. Similarly, if I'm using a frost weapon and a fire weapon, and I make a standard attack instead of a full attack, I only get one of the two damage bonuses. This is despite the rules explicitly stating that an attack roll represents multiple swings, and the (real life) fact that you can very easily swing two weapons at an enemy in 3 seconds (half a round).No, the handaxe was never used to attack _in the rules_. In the reality represented by those rules, it may or may not have been used thus. The rules ignore that possibility for the sake of keeping things simple.</blockquote>
