Remember, the TWF penalties don't come from using two weapons in the same round, they come from attacking with both weapons simultaneously with the same attack.So, for example, you don't take two weapon fighting penalties when you throw a javelin and then quickdraw another javelin and throw it - even though oyu are certainly using two weapons during the round.Similarly, if a Ranger is carrying a +3 shortsword and a +1 Dragonbane shortsword, and he uses his first attack to stab a dragon (killing it), and then uses his second attack to stab someone else with the other sword he doesn't suffer penalties. However, if the Ranger wanted to get his extra attacks and strike with both weapons at his highest BAB - he'd have to take the TWF penalties.Using different weapons sequentially is never a problem. Using weapons simultaneously is. Using more than one weapon in 3.5 can never get you extra attacks of opportunity or extra attacks while whirlwind attacking - so it can never get you the TWF penalties either.-Frank</blockquote>
