One of the things I like about The Starfinder Roleplaying Game is that anyone can make two attacks at -4/-4 instead of their normal attack bonus for a single attack.
Our group added that rule to our house rules for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, this past weekend and it worked great. Ultimately, only one character used it, but he was the character with the highest effective attack bonus in the group.
So, I got to thinking, what would the modifier need to be for it to be balanced against normal iterative attacks while allowing a character to get 3 or 4 attacks?
Two attacks at -4/-4 versus an iterative (+0/-5) seems balanced.
Would three attacks at -6/-6/-6 be balanced against iteratives of +0/-5/-10 ???
How about four attacks at -8/-8/-8/-8 against iteratives of +0/-5/-10/-15 ???
