Some minor changes to the Two Weapon combat rules suggested by one of my players (Who fights Florentine in the SCA), we've been using these in my game and they don't seem to unbalance anything

Two Weapon Combat
This rule allows a character to use a weapon in each hand. The weapon in the primary hand suffers a penalty of -2 to hit, while the weapon in the off-hand is used at a -5 penalty, or -4 if the off-hand weapon is of small size. Subtract from this penalty the character's Dexterity bonus, with a minimum penalty of +0 (so a character with 18 Dexterity does not get a +1 bonus to hit this way). The primary and secondary weapons must both, obviously, be one-handed. Like a monster using an attack routine (claw-claw-bite) the off-handed weapon attacks at the same time as the primary weapon.
Note: Off-handed weapon attacks (with no primary hand attack) are at -3 penalty, with the Dexterity bonus subtracted as above.
A character using two-weapon combat may choose to use the off-handed weapon as a defensive item similar to a shield, giving a +1 to AC against melee attacks only. Also, magic weapons used defensively confer the bonus to the AC of the defending character. This must be declared at the start of the round.
No matter where you go...there you are
