Making an unchained rogue at level 8 two weapon fighting and I'm confused one one thing.


Advice


How does multiple BAB factor in with two weapon fighting + Improved two-weapon fighting? Like with a full round action, how many attacks could I get off?

And also does each hit proc sneak attack damage or just one hit?

Also does the offhand weapon do less damage than my main hand? Thanks in advance.


Your bab tells you how many attacks you can do with your main hand, your feats tell you how many you can do with your off-hand. so at lv8 you'll have bab 6, with the two feats listed you'll do +4/+4/-1/-1

every qualifying attack triggers sneak attack.

offhand weapon does 1/2 the str/dex opposed to the full amount you get for the main hand.


As for sneak attack:
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/sneaking-precision

The wording from this feat seems to imply it can be done more than once in a turn. Also:
"If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.
The rogue's attack deals extra damage anytime her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target."

This leads me to believe it applies to each attack, not just the first one. This is different from things such as the feat, "Vital Strike".

As for the off-hand damage, I think it does only half your STR modifier in addition to the weapons base damage. The feat "Double Slice" changes that, if I recall.


Chess Pwn has it right on all counts.


So if I have a goblin unchained rogue who is small and has a dex mod of +6 (And weapon focus)

I would get

First strike with both main/off hand +12/+12/
Second strike with both main/off hand+7/+7?

Which is two attacks with my main hand and two with my offhand in a full round action?

Sorry for asking so many questions.

Exactly right.

Exactly right.

Not quite, It would depend on his level, and whether or not he has Weapon Finesse, (Focus gives you a +1, finesse allows you to use your dex). It also depends on if his off hand weapon is light.

Unchained Rogue gets finesse for free, so it's right.


dex 6 +1 +4 = 11, I'm not sure where you're getting 12 from.

It's a goblin, so a +1 from size.

if you get the Double Slice feat, the half-damage for off-hand is increased to full str damage.

Not for the unchained rogue.

You are correct assuming you are using a light weapon in your off-hand. Assuming two non-magical short swords, main hand attacks would deal 1d4 + 6 damage and off hand attacks would deal 1d4 + 3 damage.

You should be able to get your hands on some magic items to improve that hit chance and damage.

It says multipliers aren't applied. Is double slice really a multiplier or just a different value?

Scarab Sages

Unfortunately, it's an effect that increases the STR multiplier to damage. .5 STR changed to 1 x STR is an increase. I'd totally house rule it to work, but per the FAQ, it doesn't.

I read it as a multiplier, but I think this is as close as we have to an official clarification on this issue.

Though this is not an official ruling, I'm abusing the fact that Mark is sitting right next to me, and he says that the linked FAQ doesn't allow Double Slice to work for the rogue.

Need more info.

Assuming BAB 6, weapons are finessable, and off-hand weapon is light your numbers are correct.
Of course by the time you are 8th level you probably have at least masterwork weapons, which will give another +1 to all attack rolls.

Anyone can gain an extra attack by using second weapon. The TWF feat reduces the penalties placed on both your main and off-hand attacks. Imp TWF grants an extra attack with your off-hand weapon when you full attack.
