[QUOTE="Sonofapreacherman, post: 1027441, member: 2315"] I couldn't disagree more. Using a medium weapon in your primary hand is much better for maximizing damage. Try as you might, you really can’t argue with that. ----- This debate was actually settled not so long ago. Feel free to go on and on about it if you like. :) Which was always the point, largely missed by most people here. When it comes to lessening a penalty, it is unprecedented for 1 feat to negate up to 8 points worth of combat penalties (without a counterbalancing force). Once again, even this problem has been addressed with possible fixes. Cast your fire spells all you like KaeYoss, but do keep up. :p Am I only one here who knows how to add? Two different weapons, one medium, one small (for maximized damage), total net gain +2/+6 = +8. This really isn't rocket science. Whether you like my tone of voice or not, facts cannot be escaped (though I know you will try). Hehe. I was the one who both made and defeated this argument in the first place. I'll leave you to scan through the posts on your own time... …whenever you're done frothing at the mouth, of course. Talk about defeating your own argument. Give a guy enough rope... I guess you weren't aware of what the new Power Attack feat grants to "the big guy with his mighty instrument of destruction"? I see the Jester beat you to it. Not only that, but the big guy only has to hit once. The two-weapon fighter is not so lucky. My Ambidexterity feat is far from broken. Do some more research my friend. And pace yourself this time.
