View source for Core:Multiple Attacks

{{Core|name=Multiple Attacks|}}Attacks are always associated with a hand. This could be the hand that uses a weapon, that casts a spell, or that performs an unarmed strike. The first attack you make with a given hand has no penalty to hit. Each subsequent attack you make with that hand in the same turn incurs a cumulative -5 '''attack penalty''' to hit. Your attack penalty resets to 0 at the end of your turn.
