Bonus for 2 handed weapons Options

[Mongerman]

I'm thinking of playing through IA 5 again after a long break, and I'm wondering whether its a good idea to give a 1.5x str bonus to 2 handed weapons as per IWD2 rules.

1) Its makes more sense. You are swinging it with 2 hands afterall
2) More incentive to use 2 handed weapons. Currently, there is no incentive at all, since dual wielding gives extra attack and more weapon bonuses

Anyway, its good to be back. I'll be starting a IA5 game when time permits

============
Disadvantages:
============
- Cannot wear any armor.
- Cannot wear any helmet (other than Ioun stones).
- Cannot use gauntlets and shields.
- Cannot use ranged weapons.

- Cannot specialize in two handed weapons.
- Receives a -2 Penalty to constitution.
- Is immune to "Spirit Armor" and "Barkskin" spells.
- Requires 13 Dexterity and 12 Intelligence.
- Cannot dual class.

This includes not only that he won't be a good fighter with two handed weapons, but it also excludes the appropiate weapon style, I just looked it up ingame.
