Double Attack

Attack Speed: Speed - (Total Item Capacity - Constitution, 0 if negative)

• Magical Damage: Magic + (Weapon Might x Effective Coefficient) + Weapon Rank Differential +  [ (Attacker Constitution - Defender Constitution) / 2 ] + Miscellaneous Bonus(es)

                        Weapon Rank Differential: The difference between the weapon ranks of the weapons being used by the two enemies x 3. For example: If a character with a D rank weapon attacks a character with an E rank weapon the character with the D rank weapon gains 3 extra attack with the character with an E rank weapon lost 3 extra damage. Here are the Dark Crusade Weapon Ranks:

• G
• F
• E

• SS
• *

• Prf rank weapons nullify the weapon rank differential.
