Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 6261181" data-attributes="member: 57383">Multiweapon fighting reduces the penalties by 2 for primary attacks and 6 for secondary attacks.i.e. the primary attack goes from -6 to -4 (a reduction by 2) and the offhand attacks goes from -10 to -4 (a reduction by 6), or, if the offhand weapons are light, the penalties go from -4 to -2 (primary) and -8 to -2 (offhand).It has the same -4/-4 or -2/-2 result as the Two-Weapon Fighting feat, it's just poorly explained in the pathfinder version of the feat. The wording's clearer in the SRD version of <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsterFeats.htm#multiweaponFighting" target="_blank">Multiweapon Fighting</a>, which has "Penalties for fighting with multiple weapons are reduced by 2 with the primary hand and reduced by 6 with off hands".Look at creatures in the Pathfinder Bestiary with the Multiweapon Fighting feat like the <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/undead/skeleton-medium/skeleton-four-armed-mudra" target="_blank">Mudra Skeleton</a>. Its primary shortsword and offhand shortswords both have a +1 melee attack. If it worked the way you're arguing it'd have +1 primary, -3 secondary.</blockquote>
