TWF/Eagle Claw

Rongar

First Post
I'm new to this site, and I've a question about our 3.5 game. We have a guy who wants to build a Rogue using Two Weapon Fighting (PH), along with taking Exotic Weapon Proficiency (PH) in Eagle Claw (Sandstorm). He then wants to take the Feat Eagle's Fury (Sandstorm).

Level aside here, and just using what I've listed, can he use a Eagle Claw in each hand (TWF) and use the Eagle's Fury Feat? Both TWF and Eagle's Fury require Full Round Actions to use. TWF gives a -2/-2 penalty if he uses two Eagle Claws since it's a light weapon. The Eagle's Fury Feat also gives a -2 penalty to attack, but that's because you get an extra attack when using an Eagle's Claw. So each hand attacks twice per round and gets the penalty.

So a Rogue with the above Feats and using a Eagle Claw in each hand would get 4 attacks per round with each of those attacks at a -4/hit each (I'm not adding BAB, Str, or anything else because it's irrelevant to my question)? Or would that Rogue not be able to stack the Eagle's Fury Feat with the TWF Feat since they both state that you need to use the Full Attack action? I personally think it's do-able, but want some serious opinions and/or proof of why this cannot work. Thanx for your time everyone. :)

(Oh, and plz don't compare this to Rapid Shot because RS is used with a Bow (2-handed weapon) for the most part. I know it can be used with thrown weapons, but that's not happening with this build since the Eagle's Claw doesn't have a range increment and would incur a non-proficiency penalty. So Rapid Shot isn't really comparable for this question and I don't want to go into a whole new discussion.)

Not sure if this helps, but similar discussions have been done about twf and flurry of blows. Although for the life of me I can' t remember the outcome.
 

IMO if dual wielding (TWF) is a full round action and (as stated in the feat description) Eagle's Fury is a full round action then allowing your player to combine them would basically give him two full round actions in a single round and if I was the GM/DM I would shoot it down unless the character was buffed to allow multiple actions in a single round (such as a Haste spell). If you are feeling generous maybe allowing one extra attack with the primary Eagle's Claw and all attacks would suffer the -4 (but again you are basically allowing the character to get away with two full round actions in a single round).
The feat itself states it allows one extra attack per round regardless so I would definitely shoot down the idea of four attacks per round at -4.
