Wielding a heavy weapon almost defeats the purpose of being very mobile. I am not saying it is not possible of course. I just have never considered much of a ranger into the role of a heavy weapon wielder.I see it as most fighters are the ones who wield the big weapons, and this goes similarly with a katana fencer. Fencers in general are not rangers, but dexterous fighters that specialize in specific blows rather than chunky weapon attacks, though heavy weapons are used in some cases.I don't know if it is just me but I personally don't see why there is a need to skin a ranger into a pseudo-fighter role to simply wield a two-handed weapon.If you are going to though, I do like the idea of cutting down the attack bonus in order to stop the abuse of two handed weapons when used as such. For example, ranger movement and reach weapons become a bane if they can exploit them.</blockquote>
