Ok so once again we pulled out gestault combos from a hat and i pulled fighter/ factotum. So playing a character concept also randomly drawn. I need to use a whip. So using my several feats 6 total 2 flaws 1 concept 1 human. 1 first lvl 1 fighter i began to get ideas.

One would a whip allow me to use iaijutsu focus on all my attacks? Two if sowould two weapon fighting allow it with main and off hand?

In order to deliver iajutsu damage, you need to draw the weapon just before you attack, that is; you need one weapon per -attack- to do iajutsu damage with each attack.

So 1) No, -a- whip would only allow you to do iajutsu damage with one attack. 2) Yes, you would be able to deliver one iajutsu attack with each of your main and off-hand weapons.

The typical workaround is the gnome quick-razor from races of stone. Since it is sheathed between attacks as a free action, it is uniquely able to do iajutsu attacks with -all- of the attacks made with it because you're unsheathing it as part of the attack every time.
