Grimmshade Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Pulp Cthulhu Dual-Wielding is pretty mechanically easy with handguns, but a bit more confusing for melee. If you are wielding 2 melee weapons, does the opponent get a penalty die against the second attack (for the "outnumbered" rule)? I guess the same could be asked about fighting monsters with multiple attacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlF Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 The dual-wielding description does not address your query about the second attack but yes, the attacker should get a bonus die for their second (offhand) attack if the defender only has a single attack (rather than the opponent getting a penalty die). This seems a bit odd in that it means the second attack has a higher chance of success, though some would say that is appropriate as the defender has left an opening after their first dodge/fighting back attempt. I think I would leave this as is and rely on the increased fumble chance (in particular) to balance things out. However I might change my mind if one of my players decides to start dual-wielding machetes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Index doesnt help, and search finds the dual wielding rules credits but can't find the actual rule 😭😭😭 Quote "It seems I'm destined not to move ahead in time faster than my usual rate of one second per second" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
