Table 3-1: Base Save and BAse Attack Bonuses.An 8th level ranger has a BAB of +8 (good progression):The table says:+8/+3The penalties for two weapon fighting depend on the type of weapon used in each hand (see table 8-10 on page 160)If neither weapon is light then the penalties are -4/-4 (due to two weapon fighting feat) (2 less for primary and 6 less for off hand).If off hand weapon is light then the penalties are: (-2/-2)So with a light off hand weapon and two weapon fighting style (and improved two weapon fighting style) feat the attacks are:+6/+1 (primary hand) and an off hand attack with a +6 attack and another off hand (due to the improved two weapon fighting style, at +1)So that is 4 attacks:2 with primary hand +6/+12 with off hand +6/+3That doesn't look right but the off hand attacks are at -2 (first attack) and -5 (second attack) - all calculated from your BAB.Two weapon fighting doesn't give you an extra attack, it reduces the penalties from making an off hand attack.Improved two weapon fighting gives an additional off hand attack at a -5.</blockquote>
