Message: <blockquote data-quote="rainsinger" data-source="post: 4839702" data-attributes="member: 83325">That's actually where this question pretty much came from... here's the long version:A guy joined my wed. group, and he had not played ANY 4E at all. He decided he wanted to be a fighter with a big sword, but wanted to be able to use a shield if needed, etc... so I explained that he could potentially have a big sword and also a sword/shield combo, but better off would be versatile weapon with a shield. Then of course I got to thinking though, after he gave me the front-line badass description of what he wanted to play, that it seemed silly that all of the really good fighter feats were almost exclusively for 2H heavy blades... high crit on brash and such.So then we talked about it briefly and I went ahead and told him that for the purposes of my campaign, when he's using a versatile weapon 2H, that he gets any benefits directly related to using a 2H weapon (basically anyway). But then I still wanted to see if there'd been anything official...and... away we go. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />Thanks for the discussion guys. I'm going to go with my original instinct and just call it a houserule for now, and I especially agree with the comment somewhere above that this is not even on the list of things I would consider seriously wrong with 4E (though I still like the system in general).</blockquote>
