Ok, I had this argument with the DM yesterday about two weapon fighting, so heres how it goes
I believe that EX: My ranger has a total attack bonus of +6 and hes fighting with a long sword in normal hand and a short sword in off hand, I say that his normal and off hand attacks both get the +6 bonus and you just take away the -2 penalty from each swing so as
--- +6 normal hand would go to +4 because of the -2, then my off hand would get the same +6 and I would once again take the -2 to make it +4 attack
He says
--- That my normal attack would be from +6 to +4 because of the -2, then my off hand would start at the +4 and get another -2 to make my off hand strike a +2.
Who's right?
Your help would be greatly appreciated |

You are right.
If you DON'T have ambidexterity or the ranger class ability equivalent of it, you get another -2 to your off-hand. |

Actually Ill try and make this question easier to understand
Does each hand have its own base attack bonus or do you have to subtract from the same one? |

Is this 3e or 3.5e? Because it works differently with the new version. |

You're right. If the penalties were cumulative, it would say so in the PHB. |
