[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9714368, member: 52734"] On monsters, a lot of creatures that have the "claws" attack make one attack roll but the damage is combined into (usually) a single die. For example, a Lion does 1d6 (+3) with its single-rolled claws attack, representing two 1d3 individual claws rolled into one attack (if you roll a 1 for damage, only one of the claws is assumed to have connected). (Note: this first option can hurt Rogues quite a bit, and if used may be worth giving them Extra Attack at some point). Weapon Combos: 1d3 main + 1d3 off-hand = 1d6 damage 1d4 main + 1d4 off-hand = 1d8 damage 1d6 main + 1d4 off-hand = 1d10 damage 1d6 main + 1d6 off-hand = 1d12 damage 1d8 main + 1d6 off-hand = 1d14? damage (there is a d14 die) 1d8 main + 1d8 off-hand = 1d16? damage (there is a d16 die) OR, if you want a lower-powered version Gain advantage on the attack (as if using the "Help Action" on yourself). Roll both damage dice, take the best result, but apply only one damage result. [/QUOTE]
