I've been mulling over some mechanics of the game, and come to the realization that, well, if I'm asking, this is the internet, I can't be 'the only one who' because, on the internet, there is no such thing.
So, instead of simply asking around individually -which is likely to be slower, less efficient, and get me the wrong answer(s) anyway- I figured that I'd ask the DDO community. Some of these, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to, but I don't know them all, and I'm not 100% on all of them... more like 95% on the ones I think I know.
1: Do any of the Enhancements that cause you to use [Stat] such as Elven Grace and Swashbuckler's Swift Strikes stack?
I'm pretty sure the answer is 'no,' but there might be a pair that do. After all, out of the two in the above example, only the Rapier is on both lists. I can understand why they wouldn't, though, and if they don't, we could use some clarification for players less experienced with these abilities.
2: For the Dwarven Waraxe and the Bastard Sword, I've read that if they are wielded in one hand, with nothing in the other, that they get the glancing blows effect of full two-handed weapons. Do both Single Weapon Fighting and Two-Handed Fighting affect these weapons when wielded in this manner? It would be a lot of feats, but I think the damage would be worth it, especially if you go Dwarf or Human Fighter.
...I had more questions, but I can't seem to find what I did with them at the moment, and can't remember them off the top of my head. Of course feel free to toss up some mechanical inquiries of your own, because if you've wondered yet not asked, someone else has too.
