If an offhand weapon should ever have over a 100% chance to attack, it is guaranteed to attack once for each 100% and may also make an additional attack based on how much is left over. For instance, a character with [[Offhand Strikes]], [[Ambidexterity]], and [[Jab]] who is offhand wielding a short blade will have a 110% chance to attack with it. This guarantees one attack, and there is an additional 10% chance to immediately attack again.{{Code Reference | class = Combat | method = FireEvent | case = "PerformMeleeAttack"}} This bonus does not apply to primary weapons, which always attack exactly once. | |||
