[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 801685, member: 1656"] You can throw a dagger from each hand. The normal penalties for attacking with two weapons are -6/-10. Ambidexterity removes the off-hand -4, making the penalties -6/-6. If the off-hand weapon is light, the penalties are reduced by 2 to -4/-4. Thus, the penalties for throwing a dagger with each hand are -4/-4. If you have the Two Weapon Fighting feat, you can reduce those penalties further by 2... but the feat only applies to melee weapons, not ranged weapons. A thrown dagger is a ranged weapon, so the feat does not apply. A dagger used in melee is a melee weapon, so the penalties for attacking with two daggers in melee are -2/-2 with the appropriate feats. This information is only found in the Core Rules under the description of the Heavy Crossbow. This does not mean that it only applies to Heavy Crossbows, however, made clear in the FAQ. Thus we have a precedent for the location of a rule in a certain section not necessarily [i]precluding[/i] it from being applicable in other situations. I'm not saying that the limit of +5 enhancement bonus on a shield, as stated in the Magic Items section, [i]must[/i] apply to Divine Shield. But neither will I allow that it [i]does not[/i] apply. It depends on the interpretation of the DM, until it is addressed in the DotF FAQ. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
