"[...]but a fighter holding multiple small weapons ready in each hand can throw them all! All attacks with one hand are a single Rapid Strike, with an extra -4 for Dual-Weapon Attack and a further -4 for attacks with the “off” hand. For instance, if our ninja had four shuriken in his right hand and two in his left, he could make two Rapid Strikes. His right-hand attacks would be at -18 for Rapid Strike and -4 for Dual-Weapon Attack: -22. His left-hand throws would have -6 for Rapid Strike, -4 for Dual-Weapon Attack, and -4 for using the off hand: -14." From this paragraph i understand that is possible to use DWA and Rapid Strike together. You seem very competent and what you wrote in the last post and what i've read from MA confuse me, thanks again if you may give an answer. Last edited by giggioz; 03-30-2012 at 04:51 PM. |

Thanks for making this thread clearer. I edited again the main post (in red) to leave a good reference for this topic.

Re: Martial Arts Questions from a Newbie
Oh, one last point. Even though there's a special rule that lets you combine both halves of a DWA with Rapid Strike, I don't think you can add in All-Out (Double) and split that extra attack, too. The specific rule makes no mention of All-Out or Extra Attack, so I think the general rule take precedence there, meaning it would give you one extra unpenalized attack. But seeing as I've been wrong so far, hopefully we can get someone more knowledgeable to come in with a definitive answer.

But yes, that's a special case of allowing Rapid Strike combined with DWA, something that isn't normally allowed. It was mechanically the most consistent way to represent people who throw multiple shuriken from both hands. For throwing a big storm of shuriken as a single mass attack, you'll want the rules in the box on p. 120.
