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

+60 extra potential damage on GWW does sounds pretty high. Perhaps +2/4, is more appropriate, I was just throwing ideas out there

However consider that improved haste for dual weilding is 2 extra attacks that can easily be 60 damage (especially with critical strike). You also gain very important stat bonuses (JD, FoDW, Blackrazor, Crom F) albiet with a lower threat range.

I think someone with a huge 2handed weapon *should* be scary. Just as is someone with dual weild and 8x attacks per round!
