[QUOTE="Jimlock, post: 5568340, member: 6674931"] ok... i did a little experiment of my own. (..i also wanted to see if the numbers i came up before were real) the 6th lvl ranger with two daggers (3 attacks/round), assuming that an 11 on a d20 is a hit 50%, in 50 rounds gets: [U]at least two hits[/U] in a round: 26/50 ---> 52% all three hits [U]OR[/U] no hit in a round: 5/50 ---> 10% That means that he gets to hit [U]at least once[/U] in a round 90% of the time, and that he makes all three hits 10% of the time. (chances are the same because its a 50-50 case) ok... so the numbers i gave in my previous post are ok. Now whats is interesting is this: He got [U]at least one[/U] speed weapon attack in 13 out of the 50 rounds. 13/50 ---> 26% Now that means that the ranger gets 26% for [U]at least an extra attack [/U]each round! Without playing by speed weapon rules, that like giving the ranger a 1d4 each round, and if he scores a 1 he gets [U]at least one extra attack[/U]! ....And now i'm thinking again...is this something i wanna give to light weapons...? with full benefits during this extra attack..? Personally i say no.. not with full benefits anyway... All the above calculations stand for a 6th lvl TW fighter... imagine the chances at higher levels due to combination of iterative attacks with feats such as [U]"improved two weapon fighting"[/U] and [U]"greater two weapon fighting"[/U]... also imagine the complications with magical/powerful weapons. Personally i can easily see this as getting abused. [/QUOTE]
