What is the penalty for an off-hand attack?


Rules Questions


Can someone please tell me the penalty for making an off-hand attack? With page number, if possible; I'm trying to find it in the core rules and it's escaping my notice!

Can't provide page number now but:

From PRD Feats Two-weapon fighting wrote:


Normal: If you wield a second weapon in your off hand, you can get one extra attack per round with that weapon. When fighting in this way 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. If your off-hand weapon is light, the penalties are reduced by 2 each. An unarmed strike is always considered light.


Thanks! The information is really scattered hither and yon!

Edit: It's page 136, btw.
