Dual wielding adds 1 attack per round. So 2 base + 1 dual-wield = 3, so only 1 death attack.

Imp 2-wpn adds another off-hand attack, bringing the total off-hand attacks to 2.. so if, wielding a staff, you get 2 attacks per round (due to BAB), and you dual-wield two daggers instead and you have improved 2 wpn fighting, that will mean you now have 4 attacks per round and thus 2 death attacks.

Does that make sense?

That makes perfect sense. Thanks.

So, since Protection from Evil Spell prevents a death atatck, if your assassin turns good, can they then death attack without protection from evil working?

Yeah, but then protection from good would work

This is an issue that was supposed to be fixed with the patch or had been slated for it.

Will this also fix Monks stunning fist attack not working against things with mind immunity too then? (It's not a spell, you hit them so hard you stun them, spells can't protect against that).

I think the answer is pretty obvious, but I'd like to make sure.

If your BAB is 11, thus giving you three attacks, will the Rapid Fire feat give you a second Death Attack (2 first-segment attacks) when the DA applies? I'm curious because I know this is a combat mode, and the Death Attack takes place before combat.

Thanks.

As long as you engage the mode before making the attack that should work, yes.

Isn't the death attack DC 10 + Assassin Level/2 + int bonus?

That's as I remember it... With a level 10 assassin (which you can get below level 20) and 20 int, you could have 25 DC. That's really not that bad. Though I always remember assassins being great Drow and Tiefling classes, so that makes them a wee bit fucked on Avlis

I remember squishing constant streams of ogres on another server by just using death attack and HiPS.
