[QUOTE="Syrio, post: 4467347, member: 28185"] A little confusion on the versatile rule: "Versatile weapons are one-handed, but you can use them two-handed. If you do, you deal an extra 1 point of damage when you roll damage for the weapon." How this interacts with effects that apply while you are wielding a two-handed wepon? Does that "you can use them two-handed" mean "it effectively counts as a two-handed weapon since you are using it two-handed" or it means "you use it two-handed, but it's still a one-handed weapon"? So, for example, can I use Reaping Strike and gain full STR damage on a miss with a longsword wielded with two hands? And what happens with Fighter Weapon Talent? Do I always get a +1 to hit rolls with a versatile weapon or only when using it one-handed or two-handed depending on my choice? (And if the answer is "always", then why bother taking a Greatsword? 1d8+1 and 1d10 give out really similar results, with the advantage that I can use the longsword both 1-h and 2-h). [/QUOTE]
