My question is this can the character using double strike target two different creatures or must both attacks be made against the same creature.


Rules Questions


Double strike (Ex): At 9th level, a two-weapon warrior may, as a standard action, make one attack with both his primary and secondary weapons. The penalties for attacking with two weapons apply normally. This ability replaces weapon training 2.

It is my understanding that a character with Double strike get two attacks as a standard action

The character must rolls each attack individually.

So the character makes one attack with his primary weapon and one attack with his secondary weapon.

Can the character using double strike target two different creatures or must both attacks be made against the same creature.

From my reading, if the two creatures are standing close enough to target, each could be selected for part of this attack.


Yeah, that's how I'd read it. If there was the limitation of having to target the same creature, it would most likely have been specified in the text.

The double-shot feature of double-barrel firearms does have the single target restriction, and that's spelled out in the rules. Not the same thing, but it sets somewhat of a precedent.
