(Eg, The attacker is TWF  with two daggers; if he hits with both, and rolls 1 damage for both, he  gets 2 free AoOs?)* What attack bonus is used for such a free attack?* Are unarmed strikes eligible?  Such free attacks would be very frequent in that case.* Are there any restrictions on this free attack?   For example... ** Must the free attack be  made with the same weapon?  ** Can the free attack be made during a standard attack, or is it limited to full attack actions?  ** Can the free attack be something other than a  damaging attack (eg, trip with trip weapon; grapple attempt with  unarmed strike; disarm; etc.)?  What if this second attack generates yet another attack (eg, trip)?* Looking over the weapon lists, including all simple one-handers includes heavy warhammers along with ultra light daggers.  Why did you choose to include such a broad range of weapons?  ** Also why did you choose to exclude the exotic weapons, many of which (at least stereotypically) are known specifically for being fast?Overall, a neat idea.  I look forward to thinking about this, and seeing how you end up fleshing it out.</blockquote>
