→Trying to work out the balance between Two-Handed Weapons and this Feat
::There's one important thing to keep in mind here as well when having this discussion. Under Tome rules, you don't need to spend a feat to get Power Attack -- it's something that everyone can do by default. On the other hand, to use Two-Weapon Fighting, you have to spend a feat to get it. Thus, it being somewhat stronger than straight-up Power Attack is actually by design.

:::Jwguy - your greatsword numbers are off. 2d6+6 max is 18, so doing that twice is a max of 36 compared to the longsword 44. An 8 point gain that requires you to succeed at twice as many attacks is not an amazing deal for the feat that you spent on getting to do so. Particularly since you can [[Races of War (3.5e Sourcebook)/Advanced Combat#Attack Options|PA without feat]] investment as Surgo points out. In this instance it's not that big of a difference. You'd see a much larger difference if you were looking at a rogue and applying sneak attack to one set of attacks or two. I know you used Barbarian in this example, but I'm not actually sure if they get rage dice on their off-hand attacks. - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup> 04:32, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
