Telegraphic attack and Dual Weapon Attack

Unit04 · 08-13-2012, 09:45 AM

Can you use Telegraphic Attack in conjunction with Dual Weapon Attack for a net +4 to hit (over regular DWA) and +1 to an opponent's defense?

We may be using it in our next game and I want to double check we weren't going to be using an invalid combination.

Yes. It's not like it has no drawbacks.

Yep, seems kosher to me.

In fact, I rather like this in realistic games, too. You can have a two-weapon fighter of moderate skill who actually attacks with both weapons occassionally.

Its a nifty trick, but remember Telegraphic doesn't help crit-chance. Also, is someone have DW-Defense then they still have the +2 to defense.

Thank you.

I suspect this tactic will disappear once we get enough points or start facing really tough baddies.
