[QUOTE="SmokingSkull, post: 6850025, member: 6791384"] I don't really see why taking a minus 5 penalty to add 10 to damage is such a big deal? I mean really what do two handed weapons do besides damage? Honestly only things I can think of is either they hit other enemies nearby or the attacks made by them have more force to them.
