Also lets Rending deal infinite damage. Probably not this one.Free Action: Only one allowed per turn, doesn't stack with Two-Weapon Opening or itself. Probably this one, though it makes CharOp cry.Minor Action: Wouldn't work on off-turn attacks any more, and is a little bit more of a dubious change.Anything else starts getting more and more dubious - OAs or immediates don't work on turn, move is just silly, standard is just useless. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Ergo, the only logical action type for it to be is "Free" so it'll suffer the 1/turn limitation, same as everything else. Given that WotC created the 1/turn limitation in part due to builds that leveraged Rending weapons to deal infinite damage, we at least know RAI in this one case.A lot of DMs might allow rending and two-weapon opening to stack. Probably a lot more than would allow, say, Rending and Rending (and Rending and Rending and Rending) to stack.</blockquote>
