PAIRED WEAPONS


Certain kinds of weapons, such as sais, nunchaku, daisho, knives, clubs, and swords, can be used as paired weapons. Users of Paired Weapons can Strike and Parry simultaneously, can do twin Strikes against a single target or against a pair of targets, and can Parry two different opponents at the same time. In other words, combatants skilled in Paired Weapons often can do two actions for every one of their melee attacks (i.e. Strike and Parry). However, a twin, simultaneous Strike with both weapons means losing the automatic Parry and leaves the character open to their opponent's next attack without benefit of a Parry (Dodge is optional but uses up a melee attack/action).
