Alternating weapons during a full attack

[Ultimagus]

Okay, so, say you have a fighter with a BAB of at least +6, with two weapons, one in each hand. They don't have TWF, but instead, switch between the attacks. Are you allowed to do that? Like, make your first attack with the heavy mace in your right hand, and make your second attack with the longsword in your left? It is not TWF, it's just distributing the number of your attacks amongst your weapons. Is that something you can do, or do you have to use a Full attack with one weapon only?

As I read it, your off hand has it's own attack bonuses based on which level of twf you have, so I would say if you are using a fighters standard, over +6 bonus, it can only be used as his main hand attack.

Also, if they are fighting with a weapon in each hand, that would seem to be two weapon fighting and the main and off hands should suffer the commensurate penalties.

[Imbicatus]

Yes, you can. Basically, you only incur TWF penalties if you are trying to get an extra attack per round.

[Rysky]

Yes, you are allowed to alternate your weapons you are currently wielding. TWF (and "off hand" )only comes into play if you want to get extra attacks.

Edit: Ninjaed with a better response by Imbi.

Yes you can. See this FAQ
