The rules saysa)That you must wield a weapon in two hands to get the 1,5*str bonus. The fighter in the example certainly does. In fact, the only remotely official ruling on this is the rules FAQ, that allows two weapon fighting with a two handed weapon and armor spikes.b)You must wield a weapon in your off hand to get the secondary attack. It doesn´t say you must wield it at the start of the round.The point is, the rules about TWF say nothing about damage bonus, only the to hit penalties you get for fighting with two weapons. The strenght bonuses for light, one handed and two handed weapons are detailed earlier, and they don´t mention twf at all. So the trick remains perfectly legal by the RAW. The only slightly obscure part is allowing to release the grip on the longsword with your off hand as a free action, but seeing that you can release both hands of it as a free action (dropping the sword) I think that not allowing it would be incoherent.</blockquote>
