Um.[edit]

What in the nine realms is a light two-handed weapon??? --Zhenra-Khal (talk) 17:28, 18 June 2018 (MDT)

I'm pretty sure balmz meant 'a light weapon wielded with two hands'. That fits the context better than what he wrote. (I would suggest he exclude bows and crossbows, and possibly other projectile weapons.) Ideasmith (talk) 21:24, 18 June 2018 (MDT)

Suggestions[edit]

Interesting idea. I like it, but I have some suggestions.


1. Exclude ranged weapons. Thanks to ideasmith for that suggestion.

2. Power Attack requires a base Attack bonus of +1. Perhaps this should have a BAB requirement as well?

3. Unarmed strikes count as a light weapon. If you make a fist out of both hands, do you add x1.5 strength bonus? Munchkins will say yes, so it may be a good idea to clarify. MadmanFromSpace (talk) 11:32, 19 June 2018 (MDT)
