Benefit: Once you take this feat, your penalties on attack rolls for fighting with two weapons are reduced. The penalty for your primary hand lessens by 2 and the one for your off hand lessens by 6. See table, below.
Normal: If you wield a second weapon in your off hand, you can get one extra attack per round with that weapon during a full attack action. At higher levels, you may receive additional attacks with your main hand due to your increased level, but you never receive additional attacks with your off-hand weapon unless you have a feat that allows you to do so. When fighting with two weapons you suffer a -6 penalty with your regular attack or attacks with your primary hand and a -10 penalty to the attack with your off hand. If your off-hand weapon is a light weapon or a weapon with the Finesse quality and you have the feat Weapon Finesse, the penalties for your attacks are reduced by 2 each. An unarmed strike is always considered a light weapon.
