[QUOTE="Kerrick, post: 4603955, member: 4722"] Oops. I totally missed that. I could put a cap on number of attacks equal to 1/5 BAB (for each hand)... or simply rule that the bonus for any attack can't be reduced to below +1 instead of +0 (+0 BAB notwithstanding, since it's not a reduction).

If you take all four attacks, you only get a 5-foot step (combat stride). The problem comes with trying to classify those actions - if you only get a half-move, is that a move action? :p I'd say that all attacks (except for a full attack) are classed as a standard action, and the movement is still a move action - you just have a reduced movement rate.
