Two weapon fighting + natural attacks


Rules Questions


Two-Weapon Fighting

If you wield a second weapon in your off hand, you can get one extra attack per round with that weapon. 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 when you fight this way. You can reduce these penalties in two ways. First, if your off-hand weapon is light, the penalties are reduced by 2 each. An unarmed strike is always considered light. Second, the Two-Weapon Fighting feat lessens the primary hand penalty by 2, and the off-hand penalty by 6.

So if I'm reading that right, a kitsune with Fist fist bite and two weapon fighting is at -2 -2 -5 , because two weapon fighting penalties don't apply to natural weapons because they're not made with the main hand?

Yup. TWF penalties only apply to main and off hand weapons; natural weapons are neither.

Correct


Sounds right to me.
