So I have a player who has a Scurillian character. This allows him to pull off 4 attacks each round, with only a -2 to his off-hand attack.

First, is this correct, or is there something I'm missing? This gets disgusting quick.

Second, if he uses a "Wild Attack" on every attack, does that mean he still only has a -2 to his parry, or does he end up with a -8 to his parry because the penalty for wild-attacking stacks with each use?

The key is that effectively "the pinchers act as an entirely separate creature." While Wild Attacks affect multiple attacks, a "separate creature" would have to make its own Wild Attack to benefit from it.

In short, to affect all four attacks, the character would have to Wild Attack twice (once for each set of limbs), which would result in a cumulative -4 to Parry (-2 for each set of attacks).

Hope that helps.
