Message: <blockquote data-quote="pawsplay" data-source="post: 3209427" data-attributes="member: 15538">It doesn't specify if you are fighting that way. What it specifies is the penalties for wielding two weapons for an attack. You wouldn't use both weapons for an AoO, since it is prohibited. Yes, you get those penalties for wielding two weapons... when making that kind of attack. Thought example: a fighter is wielding a longsword and a shield. Someone draws an attack of opportunity. He can choose to use either the longsword or the shield. Hence, he is wielding both. Yet a longsword and shield user is not traditionally seen to be walking around with massive TWF penalties. If you wield a second weapon in your off hand, you can get one extra attack per round with that weapon. You suffer a –6 penalty with your regular attack or attacks with your primary hand and a –10 penalty to the attack with your off hand when you fight this way. "This way" in this paragraph seems to distinctly refer to taking an extra attack. Wielding two weapons is the required condition.</blockquote>
