If Rogues could only make one sneak attack per round, they'd need to get some sort of compensation for it.I wouldn't call 2wf better than wielding a greatsword at all. You only have one attack roll with a greatsword, do 1.5x strength damage, 2x Power Attack damage, don't take a penalty to hit, pay less for enchantments... 2 Weapon Fighting has some serious drawbacks, such as the feat cost and the continued feat cost to remain viable.  A feat, like Dualstrike, that makes 2 shortswords emulate a greatsword, both swung on one attack, is, in my opinion, a better way to go than allowing 2 attacks on a standard attack. 2 Sneak Attacks, with Spring Attack, every round, is powerful. Two weapon fighting is a versatile style, not a powerful style, and it pays for it's versatility with a penalty to hit, so it shouldn't pay again with so many feats required.I think this feat is unnecessary if you can simply use the Two Handed Weapon rules with Two Weapon Fighting (ala Dualstrike). Most 2WF'ers aren't going to get a massive bonus from strength anyway. Adding more static damage to 2wf is nice, but the cost of all those feats makes the style prohibitively expensive. A human Rogue gets 8 feats, and about half of them go to this style, if they wish to remain effective.  Dualstrike aside, what 2WF needs is consolidation of feats, not more.Two Weapon Combat should not be more effective at dealing damage than wielding a Greatsword. It should be equal in the damage department.  What Two Weapon Fighting buys you is versatility, not damage output, so it shouldn't cost so damn much to keep up with a greatsword and power attack.- Kemrain the Consolid.</blockquote>
