D&D General How much damage should a Bastard Sword deal if it is used 2-handed, used 1-handed it deals 2d4?

[Nefermandias]

And high strength giants wielding two-handed weapons were pretty nasty to fight up close. And power attack made the discrepancy between one-handed weapons vs two-handed weapons worse.

Yes, especially when you combined Power Attack with other multiplicative feats like Spirited Charge.

 

[jasper]

you can always use common sense or just say that it cannot be used with light and 1h finesse weapons as their grips are to short to offer leverage for two hands. maybe add thrown property to this rule for good measure(at least for throwing attack).

1d4 when using two hands because it is a bastard sword.
