Apply 1½ times the character’s Strength bonus to damage rolls for melee attacks with such a weapon. They do NOT say what happens when you wield a two-handed weapon with one hand - as in the lance.They do say a one-handed weapon wielded in two hands gets the two-handed weapon's damage multiplier.So what I am saying is that it's prefectly reasonable to rule either way, just be consistent in your game.I think an offical WotC game would have you doing damage per the way the weapon is wielded, not the way it is listed on the table - at least for one-handed and two-handed weapons.  For light weapons it does not matter.</blockquote>
