Ambidexterity

(Player's Handbook 3.0, page , DnD 3.0)

[General]

You are equally adept at using either hand

Prerequisite

DEX 15+

Benefit

You ignore all penalties for using an off hand. You are neither left-handed nor right-handed.

Special

This feat helps offset the penalty for fighting with two weapons. See the Two-Weapon Fighting feat, page 86, and Table 8-2:Two-Weapon Fighting Penalties, page 125. A ranger wearing light armor or no armor can fight with two weapons as if he had the feats Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon Fighting.

Normal

Without this feat, a character who uses his or her off hand suffers a -4 penalty to attack rolls, ability checks, and skill checks. For example, a right-handed character wielding a weapon with her left hand suffers a -4 penalty to attack rolls with that weapon.
