Two-fisted Fighting

Burning Wheel First Reading

So, with two-fisted fighting you can split your dice pool between two attacks for one “Strike” that you’ve scripted.

If your opponent has scripted Block, does he only Block one of the attacks? Which one? (I suspect “His choice,” is the answer). Same question applies for counterstrike. Avoid would, I’m assuming, work against both attacks.

Can you use two-fisted fighting to split your dice pool for diarm, feint, etc?

Thanks!

  1. Only Avoid works against all attacks. Everything else must be paired up against the attack of the defender’s choice.

  2. I don’t have my books with me, but I believe the rule is explicitly for strikes.
