Double Weapon Attack and Rapid Strikes

[Onkl]

Hey all

I've a question about combining Double Weapon Attack with Rapid Strikes. Let's take a Thief with Ambidexterity who has a melee weapon skill of 17 and also a Double Weapon Attack (Melee Weapon Skill) of 17.

Is he allowed to include Rapid Strikes with a Double Weapon Attack?

Eg.

Right Hand: Attacks normally - Roll 17 or less to hit
Left Hand: 2 Rapid Strikes - Roll 2 times for 11 or less

Is above example allowed or forbidden?

Thanks!

Rapid Strike and Dual Weapon Attack are explicitly incompatible.

Could you please tell me the page where I can find the description of the incompatibility, I own Basic Set, Martial Arts...

I'm interested in this one myself. Fantasy China campaign I was in until Feb I was the party tank and was doing pretty much exactly the trick described above. If I was breaking a hard set rule I would like to know.

Of course I did have Weapon Master, but it was more or less the same trick. I thought I was fine so long as only one of the weapons/ hands was affected by the Rapid Strike.

Only if you use extra attack. Dual weapon attack is explicitly forbidden from being combined with a rapid strike.

or AoA: Double... but the combining of the two is covered in detail in the FAQ

Look up martial arts p127

Once per All-Out Attack, Attack, Committed Attack,
Defensive Attack, or Move and Attack maneuver, a fighter
who desires more attacks may trade one (and only one) of his
attacks for one of these special options:
