Ettin's Superior Two-Weapon Fighting--number of attacks


Rules Questions


An Ettin's melee attack is listed as "Melee 2 flails +12/+7 (2d6+6)
" and it has the following special attack:

Superior Two-Weapon Fighting (Ex): An ettin fights with a flail or javelin in each hand. Because each of its two heads controls an arm, the ettin does not take a penalty on attack or damage rolls for attacking with two weapons.

An Ettin's BAB is +7, so that alone would give it two attacks. Wielding a weapon in its offhand would normally give a creature a 3rd attack, but since that's not listed am I to take it that means the Ettin has four total attacks? +12/+7 with each arm?

The ettin does not have Improved Two Weapon Fighting, and thus only gets the one extra attack at no penalty for a total of 3 attacks, two at +12, and one at +7.
