Quote: "Interesting thought but you do not multiply a negative modifier for a 2 handed weapon, you do however subtract your full strength penalty from each weapon when using two weapon fighting."
Also Interesting, I've always believed Damage Penalties due to Strength would be multiplied by that value so long as the multiplication was over one. To me, it makes more sense, don't want a specific scrawny Wizard in the party I'm DM'ing thinking they can put enough force behind a Great Axe to even swing it properly, their low Strength making the actual impact less damaging.
However, yes, you're correct considering that. My little rule modifications are for my own group, and shouldn't be raised and enforced on other groups or DM's.
But the full penalty while two weapon fighting does make sense, something I overlooked in mentioning as well, good call.
Quote: "That is correct however unless a weapon is designed to be wielded with one or two hand such as a longsword, the wepon is considered innapropriately sized and you get a -2 attack penalty with it."
Hence why I stated One-Handed Weapons only, and not Light Weapons, both of which are labeled differently in the Weapons Table. Said weapons can be wielded with two hands and have the full multiplied strength bonus, without an innapropriately sized penalty, as noted on Pg.113:
Quote: "One-Handed: A one-handed weapon can be used in either the primary hand or the off hand. Add the wielder's Strength bonus to damage rolls for melee attacks with a one-handed weapon if it's used in the primary hand, or 1/2 his or her Strength bonus if it's used in the off hand. If a one-handed weapon is wielded with two hands during melee combat, add 1-1/2 times the character's Strength bonus to damage rolls."
Further Backed Up by Pg.134:
Quote: "Strength Bonus:
...
Wielding a Weapon Two-Handed: When you deal damage with a weapon that you are wielding two-handed, you add 1-1/2 times your Strength bonus. However, you don't get this higher Strength bonus when using a light weapon with two hands (see Light, One Handed, and Two-Handed Melee Weapons, page 113)."
Size penalties are for using weapons designed for creatures of different sizes than the character wielding the weapon only, I believe. A dagger designed for a halfing (a small creature) can only be wielded by a human (a medium creature) with a -2 penalty.
