[QUOTE="Plane Sailing, post: 1408682, member: 114"] I'll swim against the crowd here. I would happily rule that each weapon would gain an extra attack. I think that even as it is the speed ability is overcharged, and the fact that it doesn't stack with haste anyway makes it even less valuable as a weapon ability. Although some people have said that the speed effect is on the wielder, that is only half right... because the user of a dagger of speed can't use the power to gain an extra attack with the dwarven waraxe of whopping which he's holding in the other hand! It [B]only[/B] gives an extra attack with the weapon itself. The wording about wielders is a redundant red herring... who else is going to be using it? If it said "the speed property bestows a haste effect on the wielder, allowing him to take an extra attack yadda yadda then everyone else would be correct (and it would be a neat way of handling it... automatically nixing any stacking with haste etc). But since it doesn't say that I believe that the text and the spirit of the rules both allow a dual wielder with two speed weapons (and obviously more cash than he knows what to do with!) an extra attack with each weapon.
