    But it would be really really nice if someone could come up with a mod which would allow the Two Handed Weapon Style profs to apply to ranged weapons as well...

    Teleomortis has wicked Criticals... :)

    With thrown weapons (?). I guess somebody could fire two crossbows, one in each hand. It's the reloading that sucks.

    He wasn't talking about Two Weapon Style, but Two-Handed Weapon style. And you fire bows and crossbows with two hands.

    I forget what the actual effects of two-handed style is, but it'd probably be better to have a style that applied only to missile weapons rather than sharing a melee style.

    Two Handed style increases the speed factor, and critical hit range of two handed weapons.

    IMO all fighter types should have a melee weapon and a ranged weapon, and because Keldorn uses a 2 handed sword as a melee weapon it makes perfect sense for him to use a XBow...his left hand is rendered useless anyway.
