Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback The two-handed grip of a one-and-a-half hands weapon (like a longswords) should be strengthened.

There is a point.

You get to have the benefit of a one handed weapon and a higher damage dice.

This is very useful for something like a Monk who wants their off hand free for their bonus unarmed attacks.

Not to mention how a shield cancels out Monk and Barbarian's Unarmoured Defence so they'd be incentivised to 2 hand a weapon over using a shield.

It also enables the bonus from Great Weapon Master allowing the additional 10 damage while not necessarily needing to have the proficiency of a larger weapon (This can be very notable for say, someone using Phalar Aluve in a Dex build given that there is only 1 actual 2 handed Dex weapon in the game that you get in Act 3)
