Sam, Human, age 20
ST 9, DX 12, IQ 11, MA 10
Talents include: Acrobatics, Climbing, Fencer, Knife, Physicker, Tactics
Language: Common
Weapon: rapier (1d+1), Main-Gauche (1d)
Attacks and Damage: Punch (1d-3)

Questions...

When does Sam suffer the -1 DX from her Main-Gauche? (Same as a small shield as per ITL 111)
Can Sam strike with the rapier at one foe and the Main-Gauche (at -4 or -5?) at two different foes on the same turn (ITL 41) or must both attacks be directed against the same target (ITL 111)?
If Sam takes a strike with the rapier and a "parry" with the Main-Gauche (ITL 41 option b) how many hits does the Main-Gauche stop from single handed swords vs two handed swords?
If Sam takes a double parry (ITL 41 option c) what is the adjusted roll to hit her? (3/DX base plus one die from ITL 41/c and another die from ITL 40?) And another -1 to hit her due to weapon(s) in hand?
How many hits does this double parry stop from successful hits to her front, from one and two handed swords?
ITL 40 says Sam doesn't get the +1 damage from her main-gauche in HTH combat, but can she make shrewd thrusts with it in HTH? Or is she restricted to daggerish aimed shots as per ITL 120?
Can a main-gauche be fine or very fine (but not well balanced) as a dagger under ITL 123?
Is the main-gauche the only fencing weapon that can be enchanted to stop extra hits (ITL 28) and if so when does this enchantment apply?
