[QUOTE="LokiDR, post: 283394, member: 6239"] I can see where this is comming from. A person wielding a large axe at 20th level is doing 4 attacks, with a damage of (1.5*str +1d12) *4 Which, at 26 str would max out at (12+12)*4 = 96 Dual wielding, with something like tempest gives you something like 7 attacks at damage of (str+1d10)*4 + (.5*str+1d6) *3 which at 26 strength maxes at (8+10)*4 + (4+6)*3 = 102 Actually, this looks pretty even. Energy damage pushes it more towards the dual wielding. You have to remember though that almost all dual wielders are at penalties to hit. This means that the max damage isn't as good, because you are less likely to hit with it. Conan vs a maxed out dual wielder is still fairly even. As for rouge sneak attack, it is relatively hard to get sneak attack on all of those attacks. And besides, rouges should tend toward speed and numbers rather than strength. If you are still worried about it, think of it in these terms. The two-hander only has one sword to make into something kick@$$, while the dual wielder has two. The two-hander does better the higher the AC of the creature you go against. [/QUOTE]
