Two-Weapon Fighting

Type of Feat: General

Prerequisite: None

Required for: Improved Two-Weapon Fighting

Specifics: A character with this feat reduces the penalties suffered when fighting with two weapons. The normal penalty of -6 to the primary hand and -10 to the off-hand becomes -4 for the primary hand and -8 for the off-hand. The Ambidexterity feat further reduces the attack penalty for the second weapon by 4 (to -4/-4). Best results are achieved if the off-hand weapon is light, further reducing the penalty for both the primary and off-hand by 2 (to -2/-2).

Use: Automatic

First level Rangers receive the Dual-Wield feat, which is a combination of the Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon Fighting feats, but it doesn't work while wearing medium or heavy armor.
