I can never keep this straight, so bear with me.

How many attacks a round do I have?

Four, at "BAB" +8 (first end), +8 (second end), +3 (first end), +3 (second end)

Ok, so with 20 Str, and a +1 quarterstaff it's

Main Hand: +14/+9
Off-Hand: +14/+6 (ITWF says slap a -5 onto the 2nd off-hand attack, which i'm assuming replaces the standard -2, instead of stacking with it)

Do I have that right?

Nope, that -5 is the same at the 2nd iterative attack on the on hand. You have that AND the -2 penalty.

BAB=+10
STR=+5
+1/+1 Quarterstaff (you need to enhance both ends of a double headed weapon separately).=+1

On hand, first attack=+10 (BAB) +5 (STR) +1 (wpn) -2 (TWF) = +14
On hand, second attack=+10 (BAB) +5 (STR) +1 (wpn) -2 (TWF) -5 (iterative attack)= +9
Off hand, first attack=+10 (BAB) +5 (STR) +1 (wpn) -2 (TWF) = +14
Off hand, second attack=+10 (BAB) +5 (STR) +1 (wpn) -2 (TWF) -5 (iterative attack)= +9

Notice that both 2nd attacks have both the -2 for two weapon fighting and -5 for 2nd iterative attack. But you don't count it twice like I think you were doing.

Good luck,

I hate the mechanics sometimes, I really do. But thanks for the help.

Four attacks; two from your BAB iterative attacks, one from TWF, and one from ITWF.

Not counting Str modifier and whatnot:

Primary hand: +6/+1
Off hand one-handed weapon: +6/+1

OR...

Primary hand: +8/+3
Off hand light weapon: +8/+3
