A character may split the normal complement of their attacks between all weapons they are equipped with, though they must suffer the Off-Hand penalty where appropriate. Two-Weapon Fighting penalties only begin to apply as bonus attacks are gained. By default, a character making an Unarmed Attack may only gain one bonus attack from their offhand, headbutts, slams and kicks - all of these are considered Offhands for purposes of use.

==Multi-Weapon Bonus Attacks==
A character can increase their number of attacks in a round by using more than one weapon - or by attacking with their other hand.
A character can gain a bonus attack using the weapon in their off-hand. They must use at least one of their attacks on the off-hand weapon - it does not need to be the bonus attack, however. The character may gain a bonus attack for each 'hand' they have, as defined by [[Attacking#Main-Hand_vs_Off-Hand|Main-Hand vs Off-Hand]] and each 'hand' that grants a bonus must be used at least once.

Wielding weapons in this manner causes a penalty To-Hit - each attack suffers the penalty listed below. If half (or more) of the Weapons used are defined as Light Weapons, it is uses the Light column - it does not matter if more base attacks are used on non-Light weapons, only that half of the Weapons that ''will'' attack are Light.

Two Hands may be used to wield a Two-Handed weapon - this lowers the amount of attacks due to the available number of hands, however.

==Multi-Weapon To-Hit Modifiers==
Every Bonus attack gained whilst the character qualifies for Light Two-Weapon/Multi-Weapon Fighting causes all attacks to suffer a -2 penalty.
Every Bonus attack gained whilst the character does not qualify for Light Two-Weapon/Multi-Weapon Fighting causes all attacks to suffer a -4 penalty.

The first table lists attacks made without Off-Hand penalties, including for weapons that are smaller than the character by two sizes or more. After One Size Category larger, penalties continue to increase by 4 points per Size Category.

The [[Multi-Weapon Style]] of Combat Styles allows the character to reduce these penalties.
