With 2H it was 1.5xStr (for using both main and off hand). I suppose the idea was to make it fair for some huge-strength players/monsters, that dual wield will not become an obvious choice.Like the others, I think that powers will be a real equalizer for 2h weapons. It would mean that only warriors from the first PHB will have any reason to go near 2hander (as they are promised to be get sword&shield and 2H talent trees).</blockquote>
