The first attack you make in a given turn has no penalty to hit. Each subsequent attack you make accrues some cumulative attack penalty (AP) which will apply to future attacks made in the same turn. The value of the penalty that's added is the AP of the equipment or body part you attack with. Unless otherwise noted, an attack has an AP of -3. This is the AP for missile attacks as well as any other attack where an -3 isn't stated. Your attack penalty resets to 0 at the end of each turn (not just your own).

Lord Goobelthorp is wielding a claymore in two hands. The claymore has an AP of -4. The first attack they make with the claymore has no penalty to hit. If they make a second attack with the claymore in the same turn, that attack has a -4 penalty to hit. If they make a third attack with the claymore in the same turn, that attack has a -8 penalty to hit.

Kaflimbo is wielding a shortsword (AP of -2) in one hand and a longsword (AP of -3) in the other. They first attack with the shortsword which has no penalty. If they make a second attack using the longsword, it has a -2 penalty to hit. They can then attack with the shortsword again and it has a -5 penalty accrued from the first and second attack. If they want, they can then use Off-Hand Attack to then get in a fourth attack with the longsword that has a -7 penalty to hit.

Tizzy Snomblom has a war hammer in one hand and a tower shield in the other. The arm with the tower shield is also holding a dagger, although they cannot attack with it. The first attack they make with the hammer has no penalty to hit. If they make a second attack with the hammer in the same turn, that attack incurs a -4 penalty to hit. If they make a third attack with the hammer in the same turn, that attack incurs a -8 penalty to hit.

Flaxer Gogo has a longsword (AP of -3) in one hand, a dagger (AP of -1) in the other, and a buckler shield strapped to the arm with their dagger. The first attack they make with the longsword has no penalty to hit. Since they're using is buckler shield (and not some larger type of shield), they can also make a second attack with the dagger in the same turn with a -3 penalty to hit. If they make a third attack with the longsword or the dagger in the same turn, that attack has a -4 penalty to hit.

-{{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.
