Aiming an attack with the [[AMBUSH (verb)\|{{boldmono\|AMBUSH}} verb]] or [[AIM (verb)\|{{boldmono\|AIM}} verb]] increases the minimum roundtime of the attack by 1 in addition to the 3 second increase in roundtime.

SURIAL: Fixed another confused use of `min` where `max` was intended, and clarified that it's about aiming, whether you do so via AMBUSH or AIM.

SURIAL: And now fixing my own revert - what was _really_ intended is `max(AgiBonus + DexBonus, 0)` to indicate: negative Agi+Dex is ignored, positive Agi+Dex works. Also updated 'ambush' to 'Aim'.

SURIAL: Reverting an edit: The edit misunderstood a formula and broke it (`min(A, 0)` means: A, unless A is negative, then nevermind. Previous editor thought it meant the reverse). It also applied -1 to the min RTs but did not update the introductory paragraph, conflicting with what that said. If that second edit is correct, it should be put back and the intro paragraph needs to update ('from 'always between 3 and 5' to 'always between '2 and 5', probably).

	A character trained in [[Two-Weapon Combat]] has the ability to attack with a weapon in each hand. These attacks happen simultaneously, and far faster than it would take to swing each weapon individually. When calculating the roundtime to swing two weapons at once, it is best to think of them as combining to make a single custom weapon base with its own base RT.

	While a character's training and statistics cannot decrease an attack below its normal minimum, there are a few ways to attack faster. The [[QSTRIKE (verb)\|quickstrike ability]] and [[Quickstrike (combat maneuver)\|combat maneuver]] provide a flat decrease to roundtime at a cost to the user's stamina. A [[warrior]]'s [[Weapon Bonding\|bonded weapon]] can decrease roundtime as an occasional "flare".

	Two spells also help: a [[bard]]'s [[Song of Tonis (~~1040~~)\|Song of Tonis]] provides a roundtime reduction to the entire group, and the [[Celerity (506)\|Celerity]] spell reduces roundtime for a single target (via free and automatic use of a quickstrike).
