See error above. Counting hit chance (say 80% for a typical attack with Str 16) and criticals, the DPR difference is anywhere from about 0.4 to 2.6 depending on Str and it's a little higher still with Improved Critical once they get to level 5. A slight edge for the two handed weapon user.At higher Str like 18 or 20, the two weapon wielder is actually still more effective though since the two handed weapon user wastes a lot of damage more often (e.g. attacking a foe with 3 hit points remaining and doing 14 points of damage). This is harder to measure in statistics since there will be times where the two handed user barely kills a foe and then seriously damages another foe with the next shot. Or times when either fighter kills a foe and then the Extra Attack is wasted if no other foe is still next to the fighter. All in all, though, three smaller damage attacks will do more overall damage averaged over many fights than two larger attacks with a similar total of damage. Kind of like many small objects can fill up a jar with more mass than multiple larger objects.Btw, anything that boosts bonus damage for the fighter (like a buff or possibly a magic sword) keeps the two weapon wielder ahead (barely, by maybe 0.5 points) of the two handed user in DPR if they both have a Str of 20 pre-level 11 (course, other factors can change this if attacking foes with higher AC, etc.).</blockquote>
