[QUOTE="Chorn, post: 2521295, member: 11849"] First off, Improved Two Weapon Fighting doesn't reduce the penalties when using TWF but just gives you an additional off-hand attack at a -5 penalty. You probably have it confused with the initial feat in the chain. Two Weapon Fighting is the feat that reduces the attack penalties by 2 and 6 for the main and off-hand respectively. So in your case, you have a +14 Base Attack Bonus granting you three attacks. Assuming you had the Two Weapon Fighting feat and used an off-hand weapon your attack progression would be +10/+5/+0 for your main hand and +10 for your off hand. Using a light weapon in your off-hand would lessen the penalties by 2 so it would become +12/+7/+2 for your main hand and +12 for your off hand attack. Adding Improved Two Weapon Fighting to the above would simply grant an off-hand attack at +7 to match the second attack in your main hand's iterative sequence. The TWF feats basically give you as many off-hand attacks as you do main hand attacks. Improved and Greater Two Weapon Fighting have BAB prerequisites that match the breakpoints for extra iteratives. So to determine your off-hand attacks, you just look at your iterative attack progression and extrapolate from there since each successive feat grants its extra attack at a penalty of 5 from the last attack. A fully tricked out TWF build ends up with seven attacks at 20th level; four attacks with his main hand and three from the off-hand. The [Epic] feat Perfect Two Weapon Fighting's benefit is to simply equalize the number of main and off-hand attacks. [/QUOTE]
