Strength Penalty and two-handed weapons

[Scotley]

Should the strength penalty be mitigated somewhat for two-handed weapons? Normally, when you have a strength bonus you get 1.5x that bonus if using a two-handed weapon or a one-handed weapon in two hands. I haven't found a reference to this in the rules, but doesn't it follow logically that you should get less of a strength penalty when using a two-handed weapon or especially if using a one-handed weapon in both hands? I'm specifically asking in relation to characters suffering from strength drain.

No, you only apply the +50% damage modifier to a Strength bonus.

Perhaps I should have posted in the house rule forum instead. I realize the RAW don't allow for this, but it seemed like an interesting logical direction to take.

I see.
