But for a two handed weapon this is a 2 for damage benefit. And since the barbarians attack bonus has increased by 2 due to his rage he makes up for the loss of his BAB in the process.Bottom line - barbarians need to use two handed weapons and power attack while raging to get the biggest bang for the buck, and then they are truely impressive.</blockquote>
