[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 1253268, member: 1656"] Of course it does... but it yields another oddity. When you make a second iterative attack with your primary weapon, you actually use a lower BAB figure. (The BAB tables illustrate this as +6/+1, for example.) When you make a second off-hand attack through ITWF, however, [i]you use your highest BAB[/i], and incur a -5 penalty on the roll. So while the total bonus is much the same as the total bonus for the second iterative attack with the primary weapon, [i]you are using a higher BAB figure to calculate it[/i]. Thus, if you interpret "highest bonus to lowest" to refer to the BAB you are using, then strictly, you must make every off-hand attack you are permitted before making your second iterative primary attack. If your BAB is +11 and you have GTWF, the following options are available: P1/O1/O2/O3/P2/P3 O1/P1/O2/O3/P2/P3 O1/O2/P1/O3/P2/P3 O1/O2/O3/P1/P2/P3 But you couldn't, for example, go P1/O1/P2/O2/P3/O3. Also, if you're making an extra attack through Rapid Shot - also based off highest BAB - it must occur before the second iterative primary attack. Stab-Stab-Stab-Throw with a dagger using three iterative attacks and Rapid Shot is not possible. It would have to be Stab-Throw-Quickdraw-Stab-Stab. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
