[QUOTE="Laurefindel, post: 7624061, member: 67296"] versatile weapons do not possess the [I]two-handed [/I]quality, but "an attack with a [s]heavy[/s] [B]melee weapon wielded with two hands[/B]" would work. If you want to avoid the whole "but i'm wielding my dagger with two hands!", you could also use: Before you make a melee attack with a [s]heavy[/s] [B]two-handed weapon or versatile weapon wielded with two hands[/B] with which you are proficient, you can choose to take a -5 penalty to the attack roll. If you do so and the attack hits, it deals +10 damage. That was our de-facto application in my last game but as it was said above, it would enable monks to use GWM and combine it with martial arts, enable GWM for small-sized creatures, and enable GWM with finesse moonblades and sunblades. I'm trying to think of other implications, but those were the main ones we identified (and just shrugged off) last time we did that. This way we can send GWM longsword-wielding gnome paladins toward Lowkey and watch them vanish under his aura of denial. Or wrath. Or censure. Regardless, it's bound to be a good show! [/QUOTE]
