Two Weapon Fighting + Improved Two Weapon clairfication


Rules Questions


I'm making a bag guy for my groups next encounter and I need a little help with trying to understand how Two Weapon Fighting + Improved Two Weapon would break down with attack bonuses. Want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly.

Goblin Gunslinger lvl 6

20 dex

BAB +6

Weapon Focus- Revolver

That breaks down as a two normal attacks of +12/+7 with just the on hand weapon.

I'm assuming a revolver in the off hand is considered a light weapon. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

If I understand it right 4x attacks per round would look like this-

+10 on hand
+10 off hand
+5 for on hand
+5 for off hand

I start getting confused about where the -5 gets taken off Improved Two Weapon,

Thanks in advance


You are correct, on all counts (except maybe the revolver's weapon type, I'm unfamiliar with firearms).

Grand Lodge

The Revolver is a One-handed Ranged Weapon.

It is not a light weapon.


Thanks. I've the same problem as I'm not to familiar with firearms either.

So instead it would be

+8 on-hand
+8 off-hand
+3 on
+3 off?

Maybe I might be better going with rapid shot.

You've already taken the -5 penalty from ITWF into account, you just haven't realized it. It's (sort of) the same as a normal iterative attack; At BAB +6, when you take the Full-Attack Action, you can make a second attack, which has a -5 penalty. ITWF lets you do the same thing, just with your off-hand weapon.

P.S. Since the revolver is a one-handed weapon, not a light weapon the attack bonuses would all be 2 lower.

¿Por que no los dos? TWF feats and RS can be used together. You can probably live with the penalties since you'll (often) be targeting touch AC.


Awesome! That's what I got confused about. The -5 from ITWF comes for the BAB of +6. I think the other "1" from the 6/1 was confusing me.

With only 6 levels to work with not sure I'll be able do both TWF feats and RS together but it definitely gives me more to work with.

Much appreciated guys. You've helped out quite a bit.
