[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 6865189, member: 6802951"] Not many individuals tried to fight effectively with a shield in one hand and a two-handed sword in the other either. Those two statements might have a connection . . . :cool: There is nothing stopping you from simply describing your character's longsword as being "huge, closer to the size of a two-hander", if that is the image that you want to go for. Its still just going to deal d8 damage though. No. A few people who happen to have one particular personal opinion might have stated that, or you have decided that that is what they were saying. Doesn't make it true. Size matters. As does weight. I don't see an issue with ruling that trying to use a greatsword one-handed is going to cause issues with hitting stuff, and the lack of force and control is going to tank the damage that it would deal as well.
