Any number of skills can be used to attack in a single action.
Example: Angus attacks holding two weapons. To use two weapons, he needs two weapon skill. The first attack uses the appropriate skill for that weapons. If it is an SW weapon, then two weapon is used. If it is an LS, then it would use Longsword skill. If the second weapon is a knife, then use knife skill.
Treat each attack separately when determining modifiers.
With the Longsword attack, it receives a -1 BCS because it is allowed because of Two Weapon. If the Longsword attack misses, a secondary butt stroke is allowed with an average BCS, even though there is a second attack coming from the knife because they are treated separately.
With the knife attack in the above example, it is with an off-hand, but does not suffer an off-hand penalty or loss of WDA because it is using knife skill. Two Weapon was used to allow the attack, so -1 to the BCS applies.
