What Two-Weapon Fighting actually looks like?

[CafeWoof]

Hey guys, so I just want something clarified.

So let's say I have a Fighter who is 20th Level. So his BAB looks like +20/+15/+10/+5.

He has Two-Weapon Fighting, Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, and Greater Two-Weapon Fighting, as well as a light weapon in his off-hand.

So what would a full-round attack look like given the above information? A standard action attack with all of the feats get penalties of -2, -2, -6, -10 correct?

A standard action attack is one attack at +20. This doesn't change. A full attack is (all +) 18/18/13/13/8/8/3

With a standard action, you make a single attack at a +20 base attack bonus. Any extra attacks are shunted to full attacks.

You get a single extra attack from TWF at full bonus, a single extra attack from ITWF at -5, and a single extra attack from GTWF at -10. Because of the light offhand weapon, all of your attacks in the round have a -2 penalty. Thus, when taking a full attack action, your attack routine would look like this:

+18/+13/+8/+3 main hand
+18/+13/+8 offhand

This is what Two-Weapon Fighting should actually look like:

Did you forget the -2 on the last attack with the main hand?

[CafeWoof]

Alright. That makes sense, thank you.

Another question: If I'm a 16th Level Fighter with a BAB of 16/11/6/1, the full-attack with two-weapons would bring the first attack to 14. Since that's below 16, would I lose my 4th primary weapon attack? Or does the penalty to attack rolls for two-weapon fighting (or any other attack roll penalties while we're at it) not affect the number of extra attacks granted by your character's BAB?

[Vhaidara]

No, attacks are based purely off of your BAB. So in your scenario (no other modifiers) the level 16 fighter has
14/14/9/9/4/4/-1

Yes, yes I did :smallredface:
