-===== Helpless Characters =====
-A melee attack against a helpless character gets a +4 circumstance bonus on the attack roll. A ranged attack gets no special bonus. A helpless defender has a Dexterity score of 0.
-===== Two Weapon Fighting =====
-If a normal character (i.e. a character without the multiattack and/or multidexterity feats) wields a second weapon (fights two handed), that character can get one extra attack per round with that weapon. Fighting in this way is very hard, however, and the character suffers a -6 penalty for regular attacks with the first hand and a -10 penalty to the attack with a other hand. A character can reduce these stiff penalties in three ways:
-  * If a character's second weapon is light, the penalties are reduced by 2 each.
-  * The Ambidexterity feat reduces the penalty against the second weapon by 4.
-  * The Two-Weapon Fighting feat reduces both penalties by 2.
-===== Double Weapons =====
-A character can use a double weapon to make an extra attack as if the character were fighting with two weapons. The penalties apply as if the off-hand weapon were light.  If the character does not elect to take the extra attack, the character is not penalized for fighting with two weapons.
-Gaining the extra attack from fighting with two weapons always requires the use of the Full Attack action, even when using a double weapon.
