Power Attack lets you trade up to -2 to hit for +2 damage.  Two Weapon Fighting lets you have a prayer of hitting when attacking with both.  Reduces the penalties to -2/-2 to hit.  So, with the feats, your attacks look like:Standard Attack: +5 to hit, d4 +2 damage.  Able to take -1 or -2 to hit for extra 1 or 2 damage.Full Attack: +3 to hit with each.  d4 +2 damage on the primary, d4 +1 on the second attack.  Power attack trade as above, forget if by RAW you can benefit from power attack with the offhand weapon or not.Side note: The dex score affects nothing in these calculations, though you need it to qualify for Two Weapon Fighting feat.</blockquote>
