Rules: Additional Combat Rules
Attacking a static target (unconscious body, etc.) is an automatic hit with a melee weapon.
This is about using multiple weapons at the same time.
A character can only wield one weapon per hand (or other prehensile appendage). There is a -5 penalty per each additional weapon to all attack rolls (so Olly the octopus, weilding three swords, makes three attacks, all at -10).
Certain skills may reduce the penalty.
If you attempt to fight with a weapon you are not trained in, you can use half the skill of a weapon you are trained in.
A character can likewise use half their melee skill if they have no unarmed skill (with damage d4).
We do not bother to track arrows, crossbow bolts, arquebus ammo, but characters are still expected to stock up occasionally! Thrown weapons are tracked; you can carry a maximum of 2 spears or five throwing knives.
Certain melee weapons have reach, and can be used to attack a foe two or even three squares away. If there is another foe in an intervening square, the foe gets an Opportunity Attack.
Trying to use a long reach weapon over a square occupied by an enemy give OA
