Your balance and reflexes are going to help, but mostly in defence: avoiding mistepping and reacting to an opponent's attacks. I can see adding another stat such as Dex, perhaps only for damage while 2-handing a versatile weapon as being fairly balanced with standard array, and even point buy, but the outlier insanely lucky numbers whilst rolling stats will cause more issues.I actually considered using Str mod x 1.5 for damage while 2-handing a versatile weapon as a style bonus, but that would end up making them better than actual 2-handed weapons. Yep. A two-handed grip on a weapon has considerably less reach than a one-handed grip on the same weapon. This can be important in a line fight or similar, or when fighting unarmoured, but in general if you don't have something better to do with your off-hand (like use a shield or other weapon) you are better putting both hands on the weapon.Hmmm. I'm wondering about: When using a Versatile weapon in one hand, you deal the versatile two-handed damage listed. When using a versatile weapon in both hands, you deal the versatile damage listed for one hand, plus d4.This gives a damage bonus for both grips, and also represents the one-handed grip being wilder and more erratic while the two-handed grip is more controlled; not only dealing more damage, but more reliable damage. Either way, the damage gain won't outdo the more specialised styles at their own game.</blockquote>
