Two hander style gets the axe shaft!

[ashockney]

Particularly in light of the feats in Rokugan and ELH, it appears that the two weapon style is CLEARLY the most capable of dealing out the MOST melee damage in a round. This is EXCLUDING the fact that you can leverage ridiculous benefits like Sneak Attack and Energy Weapons to even greater affect.

Can the two-hander style be saved? What feats would you suggest for inclusion in your campaigns where characters have developed their characters concept around heaving the Greatsword or Greataxe with two hands?

Wish to show us your math on how you concluded that Two Weapon Fighting is superior to two handed weapon style? I just don't see it...

 

[Crothian]

Actually, those feat are needs to keep them even.

Try this one...

Grow Up And Live With It [Epic]
Your personality has developed into something more akin to that of an adult.
Benefit: You can now make decisions and have opinions that are based upon logical thought processes instead of irrational behavior and temper tantrums when something goes wrong or when you see something you don't like.
Normal: Without this feat, a character is immature, pissy, winey, and complains all the time about how life just isn't fair because they took the wrong feat at the wrong level. The character also tends to bitch about how they are entitled to an additional +1 BAB increase to get that extra attack as well.
Special: Without this feat, your DM may hurt you and many people on the message boards won't like you.

...hope that helps.

If you don't like your low level characters running around with two weapons, throw some DR creatures at them. They'll wish they had a Great Axe or Great Sword to use very quickly....

That feat shouldn't be epic...

That's like the best feat I've ever seen. Isn't it broken though?

 

[TiQuinn]

Why is it necessary for two handed weapons to do the most damage in a round?
