Special Attacks: Two-Weapon Fighting

































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

Off-hand weapon is light and
Two-Weapon Fighting feat
-2 -2



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:



    • If your off-hand weapon is light, the penalties are reduced by 2 each. (An unarmed strike is always considered light.)


    • The Two-Weapon Fighting feat lessens the primary hand penalty by 2, and the off-hand penalty by 6.




Table: Two-Weapon Fighting Penalties summarizes the interaction of all these factors.


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.
