Penalties for throwing with off-hand?

[Ope]

Suppose a character wields a rapier or scimitar in his main-hand and a dagger in his off-hand. Are there penalties to throwing a weapon with your off-hand? I'm assuming no attacks in the same round with his main-hand weapon.

No. To gain two weapon fighting penalties, you must gain the extra attack from two weapon fighting. There is no "handedness" in pathfinder.

Did he stab someone with one hand and in the same round throw the dagger? If not, then no penalties.

[Ope]

OK. So, to even do both in the same round, one would need TWF feat?

[blackbloodtroll]

The two weapon fighting feat just lessens penalties.

[malanthropus]

He could do it without twf, but his penalties would be higher. AoOs would also be an issue.

[blackbloodtroll]

You do not suffer two weapon fighting penalties on AoOs. Once the full attack is done, so are the penalties.

Incidentally, if you have two attacks due to BAB (e.g., +6/+1), you can do one with each hand with no TWF penalty. TWF rules only apply when you actually get an extra attack from the deal.

Sorry, should have been clearer...

If you stab someone with your rapier, then toss your dagger at someone else (or the same person but you make a ranged attack with it) you will take a AoO.

That's what 5ft steps are for.
