09-10-07, 03:04 AM Martial Strike Wolf Fang Strike from the Book of Nine swords gives a - 2 penalty in exchange for the abilty to attack with 2 weapons as a standard action, Is this in addition to the penalty for normal 2 weapon fighting, for a -4 or worse, depending on your feats, or just -2 as the strike reads.
If this has been addressed else where I would apreciate someone pointing too it. Thanks for your time.

09-10-07, 04:19 PM The penalties and extra attack granted by Wolf Fang Strike entirely replace the normal TWF rules. When you initiate the maneuver, you do exactly what the maneuver says: no more and no less.

09-11-07, 04:41 AM The TWF rules only come into play when the text says they do. The PHB says the penalties are applied when you choose to make an attack with a weapon wielded in your off hand as part of a full attack action.

Since you aren't making an attack with a weapon wielded in your off hand as part of a full attack action, you don't take the normal TWF penalties.
fatal error
09-11-07, 03:15 PM I agree with the above two posters. Some others believe that the -2 should be applied on top of TWF penalties.
