Why is haste only giving me half and attack bonus as opposed to a full?

I just realized that if I haste my Kensai, his attacks go from 9/2 (which means he is getting 4.5 attacks per round, right?) to 5. I thought that haste was supposed to give you an extra full attack (and it does to my NPCs) but it doesn't to my Kensai.

Is this because I am duel-wielding and if so, why?

I think that is because you can't exceed 5 attacks/rnd, only exceptions are with improved haste and wirlwind.

Heh, that explains it. Thanks for the info.
On another note though, if you get 5 attacks per round, shouldn't you see 5 rolls when the feedback option for rolls is enabled. What I discovered when I enabled the feedback option for attack rolls is that I usually only see 2 rolls on the screen for each round (I also enabled the pause option after each round to see how many attacks I was getting).

Is this not strange? With the pause between rounds, shouldn't I see 5 rolls if my attacks per round is 5 in my character info screen?

Just as a test, I tried attacking my NPCs and I also usually see 2 attack rolls made per round there (sometimes more rolls made, but the number is not consistent).
What do you think is up with that?
