Of course I'd still apply the TWF penalty AND the rapid shot penalty AND any attack penalty for power attack (without the added bonus to damage) to the thrown dagger.I believe the "when fighting this way" in TWF refers to the fact, that, just because you are holding a sword in your off-hand, you suffer no penalties to your attacks, unless you decide to use it. As the order in which you commit to your attacks is important (from highest attack bonus to lowest), you are at most just avoiding the TWF penalty to your first attack. I doubt the legality of this move. I'm also a bit reserved about attaching a rapid shot at the end of the attack sequence:Sort of implies that you had to declare your intent to use rapid shot already at the beginning of the attack sequence, directly after you say: "I use a full-attack action,...".I'd assume that the same declaration of intent regarding quick-drawing off-hand weapon should apply as well: otherwise you are going to have all TWF declaring their intent to use their off-hand AFTER the first attack, which is clearly not meant to be the case.</blockquote>
