Ok, so far I've come up with a few ideas for bastard swords/dwarven waraxes (for my campaign) and none of them seemed quite right...but I think I have an idea that works...
Bastard Swords and Dwarven Waraxes do 1d12 two-handed if you take EWP. Because this would make the Greataxe useless compared to either sword or waraxe, I would boost it up to 2d6, and the Greatsword would remain the same (though I might make it 3d4).
This way the Bastard Sword and Dwarven Waraxe are worthwhile two-handed, but they don't outshine the Greatsword and Greataxe. This also creates a 2d6 20/x2 weapon to go along with the Greatsword.
It might make sense to make this a second feat (like Bastard Mastery or something), since the way I have it would give you a one handed weapon better than a longsword/battleaxe AND a two-hander almost as good as a greatword/greataxe.
That's what I think at least.
Anybody have advice, questions, or concerns?
