Need clarification: Two-Weapon Rend


Rules Questions


I'm not sure I understand the two-weapon rend feat.

The feat description says:
Striking with both of your weapons simultaneously, you can use them to deliver devastating wounds...If you hit an opponent with both your primary hand and your off-hand weapon, you deal an additional 1d10 points of damage plus 1-1/2 times your Strength modifier.

If you're fighting with two weapons, how would you attack with both weapons simultaneously?
Is there a special way to attack with 2 weapons simultaneously?
Or would you just roll two normal attacks against the same enemy?

Can somebody explain the process of attacking and using two-weapon rend?

Thanks!

Thats just fluff text. Basically if you hit with both weapons at least once in a full attack, you add the extra rend damage.

Yup, what he said.


I see.

So, if a character is allowed multiple attacks from the Improved TWF feat and a high BAB, any 2 of those attacks could trigger TW Rend as long as they are consecutive?

They just need to happen on the same round; they don't need to be consecutive. You just need to hit once with your primary hand weapon and once with your off hand weapon. Doesn't matter which attack, as long as one of each weapon hits.

And don't forget the last line of the feat description: "You can only deal this additional damage once each round.

James, I appreciate the clarification.

But I have to ask: what in the world are you doing working on a Saturday evening?
It's the weekend, man!
You should be relaxing, not helping noobs like myself!

Actually, periodic breaks to answer messageboard questions are a nice break from working on the Advanced Player's Guide... (we have a LOT of work to get done in the next two weeks if all of these products we want to be at Gen Con are actually going to BE at Gen Con, since we're coming up on the deadline to get the files to the printer).

That type of dedication and commitment is what really sets Paizo apart.

Thx
