Hi , so anytime my group gets confused over things
we put the Question to the boards !
So here we are...
How come the adjustment for having Two weapon fighing only allows for
a light weapon in one hand and a normal in the other?
What happens if Both weapons are light?
and
Why is there not another feat that lowers the penalty further?
Please help !

It only stipulates that you get -2/-2 to your attacks if your offhand is light, you can have a light or one handed weapon in your main hand.
There are no other feats that I know of, but the Tempest prestige class from Complete Adventurer that reduced the penalties over 5 levels along with some other cool things.
1) The adjustment is for having a light weapon in off-hand. It's not that it doesn't allow for a light weapon in the primary hand (most rogues i know wield two short swords), it's just that having that doesn't further reduce the penalty.
2) Short answer: because that would unbalance the game.

If you're looking for another option for two-weapon fighters, check out the Sawtooth Sabres from the Campaign Setting. They're essentially a longsword that counts as a light weapon (assuming you have the Exotic Weapon Proficiency to wield them like that).

Coolest sword since the Sivak draconian greatswords back on Krynn.

What happens if Both weapons are light?
The best-case scenario allows for the main weapon to be up to a normal weapon, so it can be light.
As for why one would fight with two light weapons; what benefit would you get?
Depends on your other abilities. What are you proficient in?
If you choose a matching pair of light weapons, you get the benefits of any Weapon Focus, Weapon Spec, Weapon Training, and very important for a high-Dex character, Weapon Finesse.
That extra average 1hp of damage, for using a longsword over a shortsword, doesn't compensate for the ability to hit in the first place, and deliver a bunch of Sneak Attack damage.
Why is there not another feat that lowers the penalty further?
Not quite what you're looking for but wpn focus and GWF come to mind.
Thats great and fixes everything THANKS !!
No feat that reduces TWF penalties, however there are two ways you can do it, depending on what resources are available.
1) Tempest PrC (Complete Warrior) - 5 lvls
2) Bloodclaw Master Prc (Tome of Battle) -2 lvls
hope that helps :)
