Ya, I love how using a one-handed weapon two handed immediately puts it on par with its proper two-handed counterparts...

A great sword does d10 damage if you are not really trained in it... if you have bastard sword proficiency, the exact same sword is now a bastard sword for you!

That's why I was only comparing the sword with the same +3 to hit. If we start to compare them against axes and hammers we have to factor the -1 to hit

to hit: 3 weapon + 3 str + 1 fighter talent
damage: 3 str (+1 versatile, longsword only)
average damage for falchion: 8 * .45 + 19 * .05 = 4.55 damage per round
average damage for 2H longsword = 8.5 * .45 + 12 * .05 = 4.425 damage per round
