Flying Triple Weapon Attack

Balor Patch · 11-12-2013, 05:49 AM

There is a DF Swashbuckler with two katanas and the Kiai skill who knows Three-Weapon Fighting (broadsword/broadsword/kiai) [6]; Chandelier Leap [10]; Jumping 18 [8]; and Flying Leap 17 [12] from Shear Speed (FL) [1]. That's an Extra Attack [25] and Broadsword +3 [12] he didn't buy so this should be good.

His in-combat standing jump is 18/8 = 2.25, increasing to 4.5 with Chandelier Leap and 13.5 with Flying Leap, but he'd better take a turn or five to Concentrate first. Out of combat and running it's up to 54 yards. Leading with the Kiai means the target may be stunned and take two triple ST (to 39 = 7d+14) attacks, all three attacks being at -2 for the FL. The CL, FL, and Kiai all cost 1 FP for 3 FP.

1) Do I have all that right?

More specifically:

2) If the target is surprised (54 yards!) then the Kiai is unnecessary. Can he have his dual weapon attack without really using one of the weapons?

3) If the character is entering an ongoing fight but hasn't been engaged, or maybe even spotted, is he "in combat" for jumping?

4) Can you combine Concentrate for FL with the running jump bonus?

5) Would Very Fit help when burning 3 FP all at once, even though it wouldn't for one at a time?
