Two-weapon fighting questions

[justin hall]

Is Two-weapon fighting a full round action, or can I move then get two attacks.

[Michael Sayre]

It is a full round action.

Multiple Attacks: A character who can make more than one attack per round must use the full-attack action (see Full-Round Actions) in order to get more than one attack.

If you get more than one attack per round because your base attack bonus is high enough (see Base Attack Bonus in Classes), because you fight with two weapons or a double weapon, or for some special reason, you must use a full-round action to get your additional attacks.

Unless an ability VERY specifically says otherwise, you never get more than one attack without spending a full-round action.

It's a full attack action, which is normally a full round action, but not always. If you have pounce, you can do TWF at the end of a charge, for example.

[Cao Phen]

Note that you can do a 5-foot step before, during, or after your full round action.

Take some levels in the 3.5 PrC Dervish and then you can move all over the place with your full attack action.

There was a 3.5 feat somewhere that let you make two attacks as a standard action, one attack with each weapon.

The Two-Weapon Warrior fighter archetype gets this ability at 9th level.

True, but that archetype kind of sucks. But if someone really wanted that and the ability to dual wield one handed weapons and didn't care about overall power it would be worth it. If I really wanted to get multiple attacks often I would go with Mobile Fighter. At level 11 you can move and full attack.

I actually should have recommended it in my first post.
