First of all thanks for the great work to the Paizo people, I love most of the changes in Alpha 2 and beside some grammatical errors and other glitches (that I am positive that will be fixed by beta release) I think that it is great what the team is accomplishing for the die-hard fans of 3.5.
Second, I was looking at the feat section, and while I love the concept of vital strike as it eliminates the uselessness of lower iterative attacks, it made me wonder about two, or more, weapons fighters. Do they loose an attack in each hand, or only one attack in total that applies to all other attacks?
Normally I wouldn't mind such a feat but the reason that I raise this is because I have a Thri-Kreen multi-weapon fighter in the party that I am DMing on the week-end, and I just hope to god that he doesn't notice this feat. (Considering that he is a dervish that will get a sickening amount of attacks when he reaches lvl 10 in the PRC).
Any thoughts??
I would guess they lose the one or two off their base(respectively), and other than that the blows are identical.

That is what scares me, considering that he gets around 12 attacks at level 11, and with the lvl 10 dervish ability this would go to a crazy 24 attacks. By loosing one or two of 24 attacks, at about 1d6 + 7, he gets either an extra 23d6 or 46d6 respectively. Pretty powerful for one feat.
I know that the number of players who play thri-kreens is limited, but I just thought that I would put it out there to consider.
EDIT:
Or maybe in the end, this is what fighters need to be able to dish out comparable damage to other classes?
