[QUOTE="Jackinthegreen, post: 6083499, member: 6678119"] That is incorrect. The way TWF works is it lowers your accuracy by 2 to essentially get an extra attack in at the full BAB. It's exactly like the Rapid Shot feat or a Monk's Flurry of Blows in a way. So a BAB 12 fighter with plain old TWF would get a +10/+10/+5/+0 routine. A BAB 12 fighter with Improved TWF would get a +10/+10/+5/+5/+0 routine, by the way. The best I can tell is you seem to think that the TWF feats stack, but they simply don't. TWF lowers the penalties for getting the benefit of an extra attack, and Improved TWF grants one extra off-hand attack for a total of 2. The +10/+10 are the first two attacks, one with each weapon, then the +5/+5 are the two consecutive attacks, again one from each weapon, and since the wielder doesn't get a third attack from the off-hand weapon due to lack of Greater TWF, the final attack is +0 from the main hand.
