    Default Wielding Two One-Handed Weapons in Each Hand

    So normal rules state that with two weapon fighting you can attack with one weapon in each but with a -2 penalty so long as the off-handed weapon is light. With a one-handed weapon in the off hand the penalty becomes -4. My question is are there any feats, racial traits, prestige classes, or anything else that would allow that would allow that penalty with a one-handed weapon in the off-hand to be reduced?

    Oversized two weapon fighting reduces the penalty for wielding a weapon of your own size category down to the standard -2.

    There's a feat called Twin Weapon Fughting that let's you treat a 1 handed weapon as if it were a light weapon. From Comp. Warrior I believe.

    The Dervish's slashing blades class feature allows it to consider scimitars as light weapons for all intents and purposes, including TWF penalties.

    Actually that's a potential class feature for Exotic Weapon Master from Complete Warrior. The class isn't exactly hard to qualify for, and there are only 3 levels - and you might not even be interested in taking all 3 levels in many cases.

    You choose your own exotic weapon tricks class feature each level, and twin weapon fighting is one of them. If you have 2 one exotic one handed swords and you take this weapon trick, it's going to make them both count as "light weapons" whenever you wield them both.

    There might be a feat that allows you to do the same somewhere, but it's not in any of the "Complete..." books to my knowledge.

    Of course, it's a pretty terrible use of what is a good class.

    Thanks for listing the book, and thanks for everyone who helped.

    I can't believe there are so many ways to do this in Complete Warrior. Out of all my D&D books (except PHB, DMG, and the MMs) Complete Warrior is probably the book I look through most, but I usually just read it to improve my barbarians so that's probably how I missed all these ways.

    I thought this thread will be about wielding two weapons in each hand. Four total. Is there a way to even do that?

    Hmm... I could see it being possible with double weapons. Dual-wielding double swords, somehow? Enchanting with Brilliant Energy for that awesome Sith Lord feel is, while not necessary, recommended. Bonus points if you're a construct so you don't have to worry about skewering yourself on the blades.

    If the thought of dual-wielding flaming sword-chucks seems either awesome or impossible (or both!), you need to check out that link.

    There's a one-handed double weapon in some book or other. Ghost Spike, I think the name was.
