Multiple Blades of Blood

When you take the Sanguine Power progression of Blades of Blood, it allows you to have two Blades of Blood [Dual wielding], a Blade of Blood and a Shield of Blood, or two Shields of Blood [The bonuses from multiple shields stack].

However, when you take it a second time, you can have as many as 3 blades of blood, which you could attack with all as one action. If you attack with more than 3 weapons in an action, you take a -4 penalty to all attacks for each weapon beyond the first, as per normal dual wielding. Thus, two attacks in a round gives a -4 to each attack, 3 attacks at -8, and 4 attacks at -12.

The Two Weapon Warrior Perk reduces these penalties to -2 for the second weapon, but still -4 for each weapon after that. So, with that perk, two attacks would be made at -2, and three attacks would be made a -6, and 4 attacks at -10.
