He's not getting an extra attack so there is no need to apply the TWF penalties.But he is using his off-hand so the thrown dagger would receive a -4 unless he has ambidexterity. So there is a penalty for attack with a weapon in each hand even if you're not getting an extra attack.  A lesser penalty for a lesser benefit that can be offset at a lesser cost.This kind of maneuver is probably why designer of the Duelist PRC put Ambidexterity but not TWF in the requirement.In the same line of thought, a fighter battling skeleton warriors (require blunt weapons) and fire vulnerable creature could conceivably fight with a mace in one hand and a flaming sword in the other, alternating his attacks as required.</blockquote>
