I'm curious if there is an official ruling on whether multiple weapons of speed work together, for example a VERY high level Fang of Lolth wielding 6 weapons of speed and getting an extra 6 attacks (17 attacks w/Expert Tactician). Forget the cost of the weapons, I just want to know the RULES.
I know Speed doesn't stack with Haste, and I also know the rule about spells or spell-like effects not stacking. However, as these are weapon enhancements, I *think* it would work. If not, they should've said so under the Speed description, or errata.
Also, if hasted, what benefits, if any, would you get while wielding a weapon of speed? I would assume, as long as you are not attacking, you would get all benefits. If attacking, you get +4 AC and that's it. You can choose each round whether to take an extra partial action, or attack using the weapon. Is this right?
Before you go screaming munchkin who is spending more gold than the DMG says you can spend, humor me. This is just a question about the rules and I don't even plan to use a pc like this.
Also, are these extra attacks considered free actions? If so, the DM would be free (w/o resorting to rule zero) to limit them to whatever number of free actions she/he deemed appropriate.
If interested, I do have a decent smackdown of a 20th level FoL doing average damage of 285 vs. AC 35, OR avg. damage of 246 vs. AC 35 using shortswords +5 instead of weapons of speed. I posted it in the smackdown thread, but since then I've changed it a bit, so I may just edit that one. I know other smackdowns are better, but this one is tres cool.
Reminds me of that old Type ? Demon from long ago. Remember the chic with the six (or four?) arms wielding swords?
