I was looking for something along these lines and found some info, but the answers kept going off in a different tangent and did not address what I was looking for, so I will pose the question in a specific setting.
PC has 18 str, TWS, and wields 2 light one-handed weapons (for this example, two short swords), if the PC attacks with both weapons and declares a power attack, is this only with the primary weapon? does declaring power attack allows the -1 for the +2 damage with both weapons or do you have to declare both attacks power attack?
Secondly, I know that fighting with an offhand only grants half the str bonus for damage, but does that mean that you only get a -1 to attack and a +1 to hit with the off-hand? or do you do your normal damage plus 1/2 strength and then add the benefits of the power attack?
Looking at having a pc with high strength play using two elven light blades... yes I know it came from the 3.0/3.5 days of old, but the weapon (as well as the elven thinblade if it can be found) is being allowed in the game.
