If I'm a TWFer, does my "primary hand" always have to be the same hand? My dualist fights with a rapier and dagger; both are magic weapons, but the rapier is also keen. With a strength of 14, the difference between "primary" and "secondary" is only 1 point of damage but when I only make a standard attack, I do so with the rapier. However, I also have Improved TWF (4 attacks) and TW Feint (I can sacrifice my first primary attack for a feint). It occurs to me that in those situations, I'd rather the dagger be my "primary" so I could still use my keen rapier twice (attacks 2 and 4). Can I do that? Can I say "this round, my right is my primary, and next round, left will be my primary"?

Yes.

All PCs are presumed ambidextrous.


Related FAQ answer here.
It seems that whatever weapon you attack first with is your "primary".
So, yes.
