[QUOTE="Mirtek, post: 4840738, member: 40810"] I just don't see the rules as ambiguous unless you really want to read ambiguousness into them. To me the RAW is quite clear on page 215 under the header "Weapon Groups". Said headers are then later used at the headlines of the tables on pages 218-219 and that's it. If the heading says on-handed it's as one-handed weapon and if the header says two-handed it's a two-handed weapon. How you later use a weapon doesn't matter at all. Whether you use a one-handed weapon with a two-handed grip (and gain nothing for it because it's not versatile or gain +1 damage because it's versatile) doesn't change the weapons set category of one-handed. Same thing the other way round. If you use a two-handed weapon with a one-handed grip (e.g. because of this epic destiny that allows this or you might even play a monster race) the weapon still stays a two-handed weapon for all rules relating to this If the designers intented it differently, then they have to write what they mean and not write something different from what they wanted [/QUOTE]
