If attacking with a weapon in your off hand, (TWF) you get an extra attack, and have various penalties associated with the attack due to fighting with 2 weapons. Which is a different situation than attacking with a 2 handed weapon. There are no penatlies for using 2 hands or using 1 hand when you attack and you do not get an extra attack when using 2 hands on one weapon. I think this boils down to a Intent and Interpritation. I think the intent is to allow 2 handed wielders to get the AC bonus at a -1 penalty to the attack. And to make TWF's chose between AC or an Attack or both with the IBD feat. I think they did it this way because you cannot use a 2 handed weapon in one hand to attack and thus don't have the option to chose to attack or defend so they allow it but at a penalty to attacks.I've seen it argued both ways, and the wording itself is confusing, which was why I asked the question in the first place.</blockquote>
