Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bront" data-source="post: 2323438" data-attributes="member: 19696">Before you dismiss me as simply using the word semantics to dismiss this, read my post <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=2318124&postcount=55" target="_blank">here</a>.Note, the PHB (but not the SRD) has a section on two-handed weapons that says "Two hands are required to weild a two-handed weapon effectively.  Apply 1-1/2 times the characters strength bonus to damage rolls for melee attacks with such a weapon."  Which only contridicts what the SRD (and PHB) says about wielding a weapon two handed or one handed in the case of the lance.  So, we are discussing which section of the RAW overrided another section of the RAW, mostly because in this particular case, they are not as clear as they could have been.  The FAQ discusses it, but the FAQ is worded poorly as well.The point I was attempting to make is that we have now come up with almost 3 pages of people arguing about which words mean more, and it seems to have stoped being constructive, and started to get nasty.I've seen two people who I would consider very good at interpreting rules disagree with spell writeups in the PHB.  How we feel is very important in how we interpret the rules.  The fact that I feel this is an ambiguous issue is for the exact reasons I liked to and discussed up here, as well as the fact that several different people have argued on both sides of this, and most of the arguements have been reasonable, from a RAW perspective, as well as a common sense perspective (Which I know often has little to do with the RAW).Most people have to make very tough decisions based on how they feel.  I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this, because this is what makes us human.</blockquote>
