Steve, I'm following on your response about the "two weapons as gear" being a MPA, but two weapons bought with points being a Combined Attack. This seems a pretty confusing issue.
Let's assume Burly Bob has STR 25, 4 sill levels with Blades and a knife which does 1/2d6 HKA, up to 1d6+1 with STR as the doubling cap is in effect. Bob applies his levels to damage. He winds up and throws his best Sunday bunch on a Troll, knife in hand.
Can Burly Bob combine a Strike with the knife (1d6+1 HKA) and a Strike with his hand holding the knife (5d6 Normal Attack) as a Combined Attack?
If so, does he have to reduce his Normal strike to 4d6 since he used 4 STR to meet the STR Min of the knife? I think the rules allow STR adds to multiple attacks.
Assuming this is not permitted in a "buy gear with money" heroic game, let's assume Bob purchases a Knife as custom equipment, for points. Does he now have the option of using a Combined Attack with the knife and a normal fist strike, since he paid points for both attacks?
