If you wield a second weapon in your off hand, you can get one extra attack per round with that weapon. You suffer a –6 penalty with your regular attack or attacks with your primary hand and a –10 penalty to the attack with your off hand when you fight this way. You can reduce these penalties in two ways:
Table: Two-Weapon Fighting Penalties summarizes the interaction of all these factors.
| Table: Two-Weapon Fighting Penalties | ||
|---|---|---|
| Circumstances | Primary Hand | Off Hand |
| Normal penalties | –6 | –10 |
| Off-hand weapon is light | –4 | –8 |
| Two-Weapon Fighting feat | –4 | –4 |
| Off-hand weapon is light and Two-Weapon Fighting feat | –2 | –2 |
Double Weapons: You can use a double weapon to make an extra attack with the off-hand end of the weapon as if you were fighting with two weapons. The penalties apply as if the off-hand end of the weapon were a light weapon.
Thrown Weapons: The same rules apply when you throw a weapon from each hand. Treat a dart or shuriken as a light weapon when used in this manner, and treat a bolas, javelin, net, or sling as a one-handed weapon.
