[edit] Additional attacks

The fact that (greater) cleaves follow any attack progression is a bug, that will be corrected with the upcoming 1.69 patch. they should all be made at the highest AB, i don't know if they are going to take Dual-wield penalties into account. I'm also not sure, if the fact that additional, magically granted attacks follow a subsequent -5 progression is the same bug, that right now as of 1.68 lets GC and WWA have a -5 progression; i.e.: it might as well be, that all additional attacks (haste, DP) might be at full AB with 1.69.

someone with an english version of the game could check, how things behave in 1.69beta 10 and post a comment here. I think the new note about the additional attacks comes a little early and with some soon to be outdated info. this should at least be addressed in the article.

That makes sense, I don't really know much about the upcoming patch, I just got tired of not knowing and finally got around to testing some of this stuff.RAMss 03:59, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

• I think you're right about this being changed in 1.69, but I don't have the time to double-check at the moment. As long as someone re-checks this before or shortly after 1.69 is released, it should be fine. (We shouldn't present 1.69 info as the current state of things until 1.69 is released.) --The Krit 18:41, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

BTW, I think the info presented in this section is a bit too centered on the particular tests that someone did, to the point where the details are distracting. One thing in particular I find distracting is that after saying that bonus attacks are generated by feats, great cleave is singled out for some reason to state (again) that it produces bonus attacks. Why is that? And why are attacks of opportunity not mentioned at all? (Based on my earlier testing, they produce bonus and off-hand attacks the same way great cleave does. See Bug? AB and Attacks of Opportunity in BioWare's general NWN forum.) --The Krit 18:41, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
