I know everybody is still working on the buttons for the dice roller and I did see that some of the weapons now have buttons for one hand vs. Two handed wielding. Is it possible to do a similar thing with the double-bladed scimitar? Perhaps a slightly shrunken button on the to hit roll for the second strike where it is minus the proficiency bonus and also a shrunken button for the damage for the second strike plus strength? I know I can do it manually with the dice roller but if it's possible to make buttons for that would make things a little easier.
Technically, the additional attack is a special Bonus Action. They currently can not attach actions of any sort to items. Also, you still get to add your Proficiency bonus to the additional attack. If you make a custom action directly on the character sheet you can set the action to roll how you want.
The other thing you could do (it’s what I do and it works like a charm) is to simply add a sicle to the character sheet, Mark it as “dual wield” so it correctly appears on the character sheet as a bonus action, add the Proficiency bonus back in, change the name to “Double Bladed Scimitar Special Attack,” and set the weight to 0.
If the player later takes the Revenant feat, then I use a homebrewed dagger for the finesse with the damage type changed to slashing and then I use that instead. Or you could homebrew a sickle with finesse, it’s the same statistically. I already have a slashing dagger as a “knife” in my homebrew, that’s the only reason why I use it instead of the homebrewed sickle.
Thank you for your response. I have not used those sort of options before but I think I can play with this based on what you said and get it to work. My character is a silver kobold Tempest cleric of Bahamut who is trained by a Wood Elf and gifted with the weapon so technically, not being an elf he can't take that feat. I'm going to try this right now thank you for all the help!
