Hey all, I'm looking for ways of getting extra attacks as part of a standard or attack action (and yes I did check up the link in Handy Links but there was nothing). I know of Rapid Blitz and Bounding Assault, as well as Slashing Flurry, and this is a two-weapon fighter build. Things like Slashing Flurry are what I'm looking for, though if something grants you extra attacks on a spring attack with a weapon then that would be great too. Can anyone help me with this matter?

If you want a cool trick, build a mount that lets you dual weild Dire Chickens, and you can make a Clucking Flurry (Dire Chickens get 3 attacks, two claw attacks and a beak attack)

Kung POW! Chickens? And you have to worship BocCOB!

Eh? Expert Tactician doesn't grant extra attacks.

EDIT: Essentially, what I'm trying to do is a two weapon spring attacker, and with Rapid Blitz, Bounding Assault, Two Weapon Spring Attack and Slashing Flurry he's getting 5 attacks on a Spring Attack. It's not totally optimised for flavour reasons, and right now I'm just trying to figure out ways to make him stronger. Level and cost is not an issue here.

Just more opportunities for attacks, IIRC. *tips his hat*

Snap Kick from Tome of Battle will give an extra attack with a standard or full attack.

Hm, interesting, though I'm looking more for weapon attacks.

There's one thing I always wanted to know. The wording says "when you make an attack with your melee weapons", and with this I understand that also with a unnamerd strike but not a natural attack (no big deal, since improved unnarmed strike is a pre-req)?

Also, the one who gets me is this: If you make a standard action with an attack you get a snap kick. If you make a full round action you also do ONE snap kick. And if you make an attack of oportunity? You also make a snap kick, right?

Dancing Mongoose maneuver from ToB. Up to two extra attacks.

Haste, one more. Two wep fighting chain 3 more. Get pounce, and do it all on a charge.

"Pouncing charge maneuver, lion totem barb, feral template, dervish prc."

Yes, it is with an unarmed strike only

Also, the one who gets me is this: If you make a standard action with an attack you get a snap kick. If you make a full round action you also do ONE snap kick. And if you make an attack of oportunity? You also make a snap kick, right?

Yes, yes and no. Snap Kick states only on standard and full attacks. Aoo allows only one attack.

It was updated from Song and Silence. They're completely different. I'm sad. The old version was pwnage granting an extra partial action on a successful bluff check vs. spot checks of all opponents. IT WAS THAT SIMPLE.

Pounce and Haste, however, are all full round actions, which sadly aren't what I'm looking for.

You mean something like this? Your Cluck-Fu is weak

Landshark Boots from Magic of Incarnum will give you exactly four attacks at your full BAB and combines readily with Spring Attack. Unfortunately, it doesn't combine with weapons or other attack granting abilities.

Landshark Boots give +4 to jump, am I missing something?

Wolf Fang Strike maneuver from ToB will also give you an extra attack on a standard action.

Your best bet are probably natural weapons. Also, have you thought about skirmish? Not an extra attack, but some bonus damage are always welcome.

Lightning Mace and Roundabout Kick with an Aptitude weapon that has a natural 18-20 critical range, plus Improved Critical (or make the weapon Keen). 30% of your attacks generate an extra attack, and if you confirm the critical you get yet another attack.

Wolf Fang Strike is a standard action by itself, sadly. I'm looking for things that give you an extra attack or something when you take a standard or attack action. Kind of like Haste or Speed enhancements, but on a standard/attack action instead of a full-round action.

One-Two Punch, Frostrager 2 (prestige class ability, Frostburn) - gain an extra attack when you make an unarmed strike, all attacks take -2 to hit. Text does not specify requiring a full attack action

If you don't bind it to a chakra, it only gives the jump bonus. Bound to the totem chakra, it provides four claw attacks on a successful leap.
