Stat Block Whip Questions

[chopswil]

In the GMG, p. 295 "First Mate", I can't figure out how the Melee info for the whip adds up, mwk whip +11 (1d3+1 nonlethal).
+8(Base Atk) + 4 (Weapon Finesse Dex) + 1 (masterwork) = 13 but the SB says +11
for the damage bonus +2 for Str but it says 1d3+1.

Where is my math incorrect?

The first mate is dual wielding and has the whip in his off hand- thus a -2 penalty making it +11 when he makes a full attack and utilises the whip.

As for the damage, again its the off-hand. 1/2 Strength bonus to it only.

If the whip was off-hand it would be a -4 for TWF as the whip is one-handed (unless you're a Balor).

However, the damage calculation for the short sword seems to show it being in the main hand, so there's a conflict there.
Most likely you just should count the whip as "main hand" and increase the damage to 1d3+2, while decreasing the short sword damage 1 point (only for the "with the whip" scenario, of course).

Something is off with the short swords as well. If dual wielding, the attacks should be +12/+7 (BAB+8, DEX+4, Foucs+1, Magic +1, TWF -2) for 1d6+5, 1d6+4 (STR+2, Spec+2, Magic+1). I'm betting they forgot to include the fact that at fighter 5 he took weapon training (light blade) which clears up the short sword stats but still leaves the whip in question.
