virtual feat nto existi in 3.0 and not exist in 3.5, in all two version exist virtual requisite.
vitual requisite is another object, isn't the object of the example do in the question.

virtual requisite is for example:
i whant to do a prestige tha required INT 15 but i have only INT 12, i can't di it. but if i buy oen object or other that give to me +3 or more to INT i can do and use this prestige.
if i lose this +3 bonus to INT i lose all benefit from the prestige (check the rule for lose benefit)

a prestige class required evasion ? ok i can buy one avasion ring and i have all that i need.

Woah...

Sorry, but I'm not gonna be able to answer the question. Too much going on there, and it's too hard to understand. My advice would be to distill your question down as MUCH as possible—not being great with English is, unfortunately, a real barrier to communication in a case like this where the questions revolve around complex and long rules arguments.

So... if I can take a stab at distilling the question down to what I THINK you're basically asking:

"If I have a sword, do I get my full strength modifier when I attack with it using my right hand AND using my left hand, and I'm only using that one sword and not any other kind of attack?"

Then the answer is yes.

But I have no idea if that's the question you asked.

The question he asked is the rules issue that's been raging the boards lately.

Mainly the idea is that you can fight iteratively, assuming that BAB is 6+ with two weapons and as long as you don't take any more attacks than you do with a single weapon that the following would apply, or in essence (The Two Weapon Fighting mechanics would not apply)

1. No penalties to the attacks of either hand.

2. Full strength bonuses be applied to the attacks of both hands.

Your take on this?

two players claim that when I create a character must choose whether it is right or left handed and when I use the other hand, I put half of the strength bonus to damage. becouse one of two hand is the "off-hand"

Hi, i've read FAQ, but i've yet a small problem. If i wielding 2 weapon (withh or without TWF feats) do i apply my full str bonus or only half of it with the second one?

Example: Fighter +6+1 with Longsword and a torch. reading faq, if he has TWF feat he can strike with any combination of them at +6+1 if he make only 2 attacks, but if he want use 3 attack he must declare it and take proper malus. This fighter strike with the longsword +6 (adding full STR damage bonus), but the second one? He can add full STR bonus also if he strike with weapon in the secon hand (or off hand)?
Tnx

If you wield two weapons, the weapon in your off hand adds half your Strength bonus unless you have the Double Slice feat. See the rules for light and one-handed weapons on page 141 of the Core Rulebook.

I apologize now for any mistakes but I'm not great with English.

Hi, I'm one of the players being discussed with the player who asked the question and would like to clarify a few points becouse he asked the question in the wrong way and your answer is not clear. (it is not clear if it refers to the feat TWF and or no and if is refers to the extra attacks)
I ask the question in another way so as to avoid any doubts.

all example is WITHOUT having the feat to two weapons fight (TWF) and WITHOUT do any extra attack but only normal number of attack----
BOB is my 6° level warrior has a BASE attack +6 +1 and can do two attacks with his sword in his right hand (the left hand is empty) 1° attack at +6 and 2° attack at +1, and each attack adds entire the force bonus to damage. this is normal rule for normal attack without extra attack, this is simple :)

question 1°
BOB my 6° level warrior, (in another new battle) have the sword in his left hand and do his two attacks as in the example above, 1° attack is at +6 and 2° attack is at +1 ? (now the right hand is empty but now he used another hand)

2° question
BOB puts all the strength bonus to damage in these two attacks or put half of the strength bonus to damage simply because they changed the used hand? (the right hand is empty and haven't do any action)
______________________________________________________
now real core of problem
without having the feat for two weapons fight (TWF) and WITHOUT do any extra attack but only NORMAL number of attack

BOB my 6° level warrior have one generic weapon in right hand and another generic weapon in left hand and base attack +6
1° core question
BOB use only left hand and use right hand only for trasport another weapon, he can do 2 attack at +6 +1 and add entire strength bonus to damage ?

2° core question
BOB whant do a NORMAL number of attack WITHOUT do any extra attack but he whant to do 1° attack at +6 with left generic weapon and whant to do the 2° attack at +1 with right generic weapon.
he can add entire strength bonus to all 2 attack ? the number of attacks is normal for a fighter of his level and I think that the damage should be normal, is not it? (The end result is the same as he would if he were two attacks with the same weapon)

3° question,
if BOB use two knives or two swords change anything? The daggers are light weapon sword no.

I repeat, BOB makes the normal number of attacks in that round (two attack for a 6° level warior), he not recive any advantage from the fighting with two weapons, is only appearence. (is cool :) )

P.S.
my character isn't called BOB but bob is to short :)

little correctio, in my example i have used a wrong price becose i whant to do only an example
+5 AC is 25.0000 and +5 weapon is 50.000

------------------------------------------------
sorry but I need another clarification.
I believe that I can enchant the shield for a total cost of +10 with shield power, and the same shield as a weapon +10, paying two prices separately. the master says that the total over the shield + weapon can not exceed +10 to the market price.

question:
can i have a shield +5 AC, heavy fortification (+5) Total = +10 for shield power and put on the SAME shield, +5 attack and damage (as a weapon), ghost touch (+1 weapon), Elf Bane (+1) , vermin bane (+1), holy (+2) +10 total for the weapon power? total cost of the shield / weapon is 100,000+ 200,000 = 300,000 plus the cost base of the shield.
or my shield / wepon must stay below +10 total price ? +5 to AC and +4 to attack/damage,ghost touch (+1) and no other power ?

thx and excuseme for another request.

Sorry for any mistakes but I do not speak English very well.

I have the Italian manual of pathfinder but i think that rule is the same of english version, but is possible to have some traslation error.

1° question
description of the light shield and the large shield (not tower), says that the enhancement bonus of the shield not provide any bonus to attack and damge if you fight with shield, but says that the shield can be enchanted as a weapon.

I think this means I can spend 50,000 gold to get an +5 AC magic bonus to the Shield And that I can spend even another 100,000 gold and have the same shield that gives me +5 of AC and +5 to attack and damage.
this right ?
------------------------
2° question
normal shield without spike can be used for two weapon fight?
on manual say when you fuight with it the shield is considered bludgeon martial and do 1D4, with spike change tipe of damage to 1D6 pircing.
------------------------
3°question
when you fight with shield, shiled is considered martial weapon etc.
i can use weapon focus feat (+1 to attack) with shield ?
or, i can learn a feat sword wepon focus and when i use a sword i have +1 to attack. i can learn another weapon focus to have +1 to attack with my shield?
