So, it works like the crit mod of Enchanter haste. Ordinarily, I have a zero percent chance to crit as an Enchanter, but with my own haste, even I can occasionally melee crit. Is that right?
So, if I had a triple attack mod, I'd actually get the occasional triple attack? That would be very funny, in light of the fact that I can't even dual wield.
there is some indication that it may not add to a zero (the notes for the spell effect says it does not add to someone with no skill) but I have heard from other designers that it does actually add to someone with zero skill.
You DO have to have double attack though for triple attack to work. So classes without double attack cannot triple attack... no matter what value we give them.
I think I understand. So, even thought it's not supposed to do this, a Triple Attack mod does affect someone with a zero skill. But as an Enchanter, it wouldn't give me the chance to have a Triple Attack, because I can't Double Attack. Got it. Thanks Ngreth.
Yeah. triple fires from doubles... so if you have no doubles, there is no chance for triple to fire.
