[QUOTE="Oni, post: 278497, member: 380"] Depends on what I'm looking for, damage I'd probably go twin short swords. I haven't done all the math but the way I figure it is this great sword deals about the same amount of damage as two short swords (total of 2d6+str*1.5), however once you start adding in specialization and magical weapons the twin style looks like it should outdistance the the two-handed style. Take for instance an 18 str fighter specialized in Greatsword with a +5 greatsword, he will dea 2d6+13. Now take that same fighter specialize him in short sword, and give him two +4 short swords, he'll deal something like 2d6+18, and on top of that as he is attacking more often he will have more opportunities to critical. Now my logic and or calculations may be wrong, but thats generally the way I think of it. Now if I'm looking for defence it sword and shield all the way. But I'm going to vote twin weapon style, because in the end style wins the day. :D [/QUOTE]
