Weapon Trait — Agile

Agile weapons are light and fast, reducing the Multiple Attack Penalty (MAP).

Mechanical Effect:

• Your Multiple Attack Penalty with this weapon is -4 on second attack and -8 on third (instead of the normal -5/-10)
• This applies only to attacks made WITH this weapon — other weapons still use normal MAP

Why It Matters: In PF2e, second and third attacks are significantly less likely to hit due to MAP. Agile reduces the penalty by 1 on each step, making follow-up attacks more viable.

Common Agile Weapons:

• Shortsword, dagger, rapier (with finesse), light mace, kukri
• Fists (unarmed attacks are Agile by default)
• Many monk weapons

MAP Comparison:

Tactical Note: Agile weapons are best for characters who make multiple Strikes per turn — dual wielders, Flurry Rangers, and Monks. The -4 vs -5 difference on the second attack is meaningful in PF2e's tight math where +1 matters.
