Two Weapon Combat
(look up d20 Modern) pp 127
Attacking with Two Weapons: If the character wields a second weapon in his or her off hand, the
character can get one extra attack per round with that weapon. Fighting in this way is very difficult,
however—the character takes a –6 penalty on the regular attack or attacks with his or her primary
hand and a –10 penalty on the attack with his or her off hand. A character can reduce these penalties
in two ways.
1. If the off-hand weapon is light, the penalties are reduced by 2 each. (An unarmed strike is always
considered light.)
2. The Two-Weapon Fighting feat lessens the primary hand penalty by 2, and the off-hand penalty by
6.
Table: Two-Weapon Fighting Penalties summarizes the interaction of all these factors.

*If you have a +6 attack bonus and are capable of making a second attack you must have the
Improved Two Weapon Fighting feat in order to make a second attack with your offhand weapon.
To mix ranged and melee weapons you must have the Improved Two Weapon Feat. If not, then the
circumstances revert back to 'Normal'.
