Darman has Gauntlet Knife +10 (+10 Damage to 1 adjacent target; this counts as a melee attack) and Double Attack.
He also has Double Attack.
Suppose he is adjacent to two enemies and wants to use one attack on each.
Which of these is correct?
a. Darman may only attack one enemy if he is adjacent to any enemy.
b. Darman may attack both enemies and gains +10 damage to each.
c. Darman may attack both enemies. One is a melee attack at +10, the other is non-melee at normal damage. Darman may choose which attack is melee.
d. Darman may attack both enemies. One is a melee attack at +10, the other is non-melee at normal damage. The first attack is melee and the second attack is non-melee.
e. Darman may attack both enemies. For each attack, Darman may choose whether the attack is melee at +10 damage or non-melee.
I think it's d, but I'm not sure.

Kamikaze13 wrote:I believe it's "e" I don't think it's "e", based on how Poisoned Blade works for the GenoHaradan Assassin. Poisoned Blade is not optional. Actually, the Geno can get Double from General Windu, and the wording is the same for Gauntlet Knife, so this question would have been answered already somewhere in the past. *off to search*

I didn't find a definitive answer, but I'm now leaning toward 'b'. In the threads that I found, nobody emphasized the "1 adjacent target" in the Poisoned Blade ability, so maybe the 1 doesn't really mean anything. "1 at a time", perhaps?

I forgot Poisoned Blade isn't optional.

Options a through d above are all consistent with Gauntlet Knife being mandatory, depending on the ramifications of "1 adjacent target". a. It's mandatory and applies to only 1 target, therefore you can't target a 2nd person that turn. b. It's mandatory and applies to only 1 target, but you target 1 character at a time so you can use Gauntlet Knife against 2 different characters in the same turn. c/d. It's mandatory and applies to only 1 target, therefore if you target a 2nd person this turn you lose Gauntlet Knife's bonus and revert to non-melee attacks.

Pretty sure you can attack both at+10 damage I'm pretty sure that by not being optional, it applies to all attacks that character makes on it's turn against adjacent enemies. I think it could just as well say " an adjacent target". edit: actually, turn is irrelevant - whenever the character targets an adjacent enemy. (like a death shot for example, but not on an attack of opportunity, which doesn't target)

It works like Poisoned Blade, and Gauntlet Knife was written similar to show this.
