New Posts For Thread: No damage bonus for two handed wielding??http://community.wizards.com/dndnext/go/thread/view/75882/29426881/No_damage_bonus_for_two_handed_wieldingAs it is now, there is NO bonus for two handed use of melee weapons in terms of damage.this is completely wrong as it is a matter of basic physics that you have better leverage with two hands instead of one.So for two handed melee weapons use bonus dyes you are missing something, pretty sure the second weapon doesn't get bonuses to damage, meaning it eventually becomes5d12 + str vs 6d6 + stror maybe not.http://community.wizards.com/dndnext/go/thread/view/75882/29426881/No_damage_bonus_for_two_handed_wielding?post_id=531614323#531614323yes you are missing something, pretty sure the second weapon doesn't get bonuses to damage, meaning it eventually becomes5d12 + str vs 6d6 + stror maybe not.Mon, 22 Apr 2013 06:27:23 -0500how would you then treat long sword swung with two hands? same damage? Or mace? I guarantee you that the effect is bigger.Or lets say Ogre with 22 str grabs a human sized greatsword. he can wield it effectively with one hand for 1d12+6 dmg. but whathttp://community.wizards.com/dndnext/go/thread/view/75882/29426881/No_damage_bonus_for_two_handed_wielding?post_id=531614193#531614193how would you then treat long sword swung with two hands? same damage?

The rater small damage bonus becomes fairly insignificant compared to the 6d12 CS dice or the +8 from strength and a magic weapon the fighter hashttp://community.wizards.com/dndnext/go/thread/view/75882/29426881/No_damage_bonus_for_two_handed_wielding?post_id=525041825#525041825This may be a stretch to for some people to grasp but I believe two handed weapons should get +1 to hit.
