Also if you wield a long sword in two hands, is it a two handed weapon for power attack?
Kordeth said:I don't think so--versatile weapons are one-handed weapons that you can use in two hands, but they don't actually switch to the "two-handed" weapon type when you do so.

As a rule of thumb when using a versatile weapon, default to giving the player the most beneficial reading of a rule or situation regarding one or two handed use.
So, the fighter would still get his weapon talent, and he could also gain the benefits of reaping strike.
Versatile is intended to let you have your cake and eat it too.
