[IWD2][Crossbow] Number of Attacks shows 2 but actually is still 1 in combat
When my level 13 cleric equips a heavy crossbow called Hagnen's Folly, his Attack Modifiers become:
But after I tested it in combat, his actual Number of Attacks is still 1 per round (six seconds).
Is that statistics of Attack Modifiers bugged?
Main Hand: +16/+11 Number of Attacks: 2

Clerics have the "Simple Weapon, Crossbow" feat so they can use crossbows without penalties. The game is IWD2 and I'm not using any mods.
Sorry, didn't catch the IWD2 reference. In that case, maybe it's a bug? It's been a long time since I played that game.
Is it possible you miscounted the actual APR? IWD2 rounds are 7 seconds instead of 6, and humans usually count seconds quickly, and also lose a second by starting at 1 second instead of 0 when they count. If you counted like most people do, you might have ended at 5 seconds instead of 7.
Both light and heavy crossbows require only the "Simple Weapon, Crossbow" feat, and mages can use the latter.
I guess it is bugged. Even if I miscounted the actual APR, the second attack should start at about the 3rd second, and I'm sure that it actually starts at the 6th second.
Thanks for the suggestion. I just used the countdown timer on my smartphone to countdown for 21 seconds and had my cleric performed the attacks. This time, the number of attacks is 4.
Because I have no idea how that can be changed, I guess not.
Fine. I presume then that you are at 1 APR. It's possible to get 4 attacks in 21 seconds if you start timing during combat. I'm not really familiar with IWD2, but I think that shares the same initiative mechanic with BG. That introduces a random factor into how quickly attacks are made each round, so if your 21 seconds starts part way through round 1, you could have an attack there as well as another at the start of round 4. I think the 7 seconds per round is also only an approximation, so there's a small amount of variation possible there if you were measuring precisely.
