By default all characters are either right or left-hand dominant, and suffer a -3 penalty to any precision actions carried out with their offhand - such as one-handed Attacks.

Some weapons, typically those that are small and/or specially designed for offhand use, are easier to wield in the offhand and suffer from Reduced Offhand Penalty (-2) or even Minimal Offhand Penalty (-1). Unarmed attacks always qualify for Minimal Offhand Penalty. The Offhand Penalty can also be reduced by the Offhand Proficiency Ability.
