Default Re: Dual Weapon/Extra Attack with combos

There are three things here:

Rapid Strike is an option that allows you to make two strikes when you would otherwise get only one (Options exist to allow more than two). All the attacks are at a penalty that scales with the number of extra strikes.
Dual Weapon Attack allows you to make a strike with two different weapons, with specific limitations. Both attacks are at a penalty.
An off-hand attack is at -4 in addition to any other penalty for multiple attacks.

A right-left combo would be -6/-10 without any of the relevant buy off traits. Combination would buy off up to -6, while Ambidexterity (or Off Hand Weapon Training) would eliminate the extra -4 for the off hand attack.

Rapid Strike and Dual Weapon Attack are separate, and cannot be combined.

Edit: And if you also have Extra Attack, you get one additional strike each turn when you select a maneuver that allows one or more.
