Yeah, I don't know if it is implemented in the game or not, but I was wondering, if you are using a 2h weapon, do you get twice your strength bonus to hit/dam? It only makes sense. After all, anyone dualing gets thier strength bonus once for each weopon held.
Hopefully, this will turn more and more people on to using 2h's instead of 2 1h's...

Hey, about 2h'rs being 2h'd
Uh, I'm pretty damn sure that people did favor 2 handers to two 1 handers unless 1) You were a ranger, in which case your dual wield is actually worth something or 2) You're a rogue, in which case not only is your dual wield worth something, but the better two handers can't even be used by you. Add that to the fact that bashing is still possible with a two hander if your skill is high enough, non-rangers and assassins couldn't get 4/5 attacks hasted while dualing, and not to mention paladins getting that big hit bonus that gives them the freedom to stack on more +dam gear and still whack mobs effectively with half the hitroll a ranger would need and I'd say that 2 handers are generally more effective than two 1 handed weapons. There's a reason you never saw high level warriors dual wielding stuff but often having a two handed weapon like a flamberge or twilight in addition to a shield and one hander.

I dunno about the mud, but Paladins get +2 to hit evil creatures I think in AD&D. That could be construed as big, from a certain point of view.
I wonder how considerable their bonus to hit actually was on the mud.

No, the 20% was a bonus to hit with 2h, I played a pally twice through and never really noticed it as a BIG bonus, especially not early on...I was wielding a shining mithril while my on fighter friend had a gleaming holy, HE HIT WAY MORE THAN I DID, PLUS, he could use a shield.(note, this was back in the day(lv18-25)) I had been using 2h slashers for the entire game... but hey, I could alwas cast armor and bless to "help out" (a little...) But at least they weren't anti's...
