For instance, dual dwarven waraxe increases base damage by one point on each hand and doesn't cost an extra feat for dwarves (oversized two weapon fighting substitutes for exotic weapon proficiency). Oversized two weapon fighting also changes the power attack damage equation. A character fighting with two one-handed weapons gets to add power attack on both weapons resulting in as good a deal as two-handed power attack on a full attack. Similarly, oversized two weapon fighting can get serious benefits from enlarge person (if the character has enough dex to keep using his two weapon fighting feats with the -2 dex). 1d10 goes to 2d8 for an increase of 3.5 points of damage per attack--roughly double the benefit derived by two handed weapon wielders (who typically go from 2d6 or 1d12 to 3d6).</blockquote>
