Does Extra Attack let you attack twice with the same weapon?
In GURPS, Extra Attack doesn't let you attack multiple times with the same weapon / limb / etc. unless you take the Multi-Strike enhancement. But I can't find anything in the DFRPG books that so much as hints at such a limitation. Indeed, the rules for Heroic Archer (p. 35) seem to imply that Extra Attack lets you attack multiple times with a bow in the space of one second, if you can make multiple Fast-Draw rolls. Is this right? That would make this one of those many annoyingly subtle changes between GURPS and DFRPG. Or maybe I'm just not reading carefully enough. Or maybe this is an unintended oversight Kromm has clarified somewhere. What's the story?

Edit 2 : what follow apply to DF, not DFRPG. For DFRPG, see the quote above. In DF, Extra-attack is ("under the hood") extra attack(multi-strike, +20%; one weapon only, -20%) There is a quote about it somewhere, but I am on my phone. The "one weapon" bit isn't applied or in effect, for simplicity the book simply assume that most characters will use one primary weapon skill in most cases.

It is a rules change from Gurps. The original explanation was actually for Gurps DF http://forums.sjgames.com/showpost.p...03&postcount=4 Quote:

Re: Does Extra Attack let you attack twice with the same weapon?
Yes, although my rule would be it includes either multi-strike or multiple strikers as appropriate. I view a Peshkali as having extra attacks because it has extra arms and having it strike six times with its last remaining arm offends me.
