Do Two-Handed Weapons Do +1 Damage?

[Voadam]

Do two handed melee weapons do +1 damage or is that just versatile weapons wielded two-handed? Does a bastard sword do more damage wielded two-handed than a greatsword?

I thought it was all two-handed melee weapons but all I can find in the PH is the reference on versatile weapons.

Just versatile weapons wielded with two hands.

Does a bastard sword do more damage wielded two-handed than a greatsword?

Yes.

There is no rule that says two-handed melee weapons deal a +1 point of damage. That is the reason you cannot find it.

 

[Mr. Teapot]

The additional damage from two handed weapons is included in their damage die, so there is no additional bonus.

(In the case of Bastard Sword vs. Greatsword, one is a Superior weapon and one is a military weapon. So you spent a feat to get that +1 damage. The two handed guy could be wielding a fullblade with a feat, or have taken Weapon Focus or something.)

Fullblade or "Greatsword 2 the Apology".

Yes. And a Bastard Sword is a superior weapon, and greatsword is a Martial weapon. Therefore, if Bastard sword does exactly one more point of damage, I'm not losing any sleep.

Just versatile weapons. But equivalent class two-hander weapons have larger weapon dice, which means more than a single point of damage for powers that have x[W] where x > 1, and -at least- one point for 1[W]

Fullblade or "Greatsword 2 the Apology".

Fullblade costs a feat, so if it's better than greatsword I'm not losing any sleep, either.

 

[Flipguarder]

Yeah, calling full-blade "great-sword 2 the apology" is meh. It costs a feat and therefore should be better.

Not much losing of sleep done this day.

heh there you go losing sleep...

So A longsword with two hands d8+1 is the same as a Greatsword d10?
Except with a Greatsword you cant choose to use it onehanded?

Another thing that bothers me about full-blade is ...
well Greatsword is a name of real weapons.

And the closest i can analog with fb is the big fantasy anime weapons or
some such... or saying some weapons that I would have called
Greatswords like the German Zwiehander are actually a fullblade
if they are used "that way"

yes hulu is very evil for containing all episodes of the series. (The hilarious part is that I have all the episodes on DVD, but since its right here...
