    Are attacks per round (unaffected by haste or other hasting ability) capped? I seem to remember it being said somewhere that it is capped to five. Is this true?

    I think it's capped at 5 witht the use of (imp.) haste. But I think you can get 10 attacks with the Great Whirlwind HLA...

    Yes, I suppose it's true.
    Check the manual.

    They are capped, but, I believe you can get 5 per round without the use of Imp. Haste iirc. I seem to recall my old f/t using a set up of shortsword of backstab in his main hand + kundane in the offhand for the extra attack and this resulting in 5 attacks per round eventually at the right level.

    Normaly attacks/round are capped at 5.

    With haste you get an extra attack always resoulting in max 6 attacks.

    Improved haste doubles your attacks to max of 10 (if base is 5).

    Remember that haste doesnt work with improved haste so there are only 3 options: haste, I. haste, G. whirlwind.

    An interesting thing would be combining improved haste with greater whirlwind to get 20 attacks per round :eek:
    Too bad it doesnt work as GW gives you I. haste effect as well ;) :grin:

    I think if you use any type of dart you can get up to 10 attacks/round also with improved haste.

    AFAIK darts give you at least 3 attacks per round. Combined with I.haste gives 6.

    Perhaps with more proficiency you could get 5 attacks normaly and then 10 with I.haste.

    Never without proficiecny :(
