Does Warforge/Bladeforge "Great Weapon Aptitude" work with with a bastard sword (in the sense that Bastard swords work as THF when single wielded/wielded with a shield)?
One more thing I guess, does the THF line of feats work with a runearm in your offhand?
I am also wondering as well.
Half-Orc has a similar racial great weapon enhancement tree.
Anybody knows?
Yes, the "Great Weapon Aptitude" enhancement (in both Half-Orc/Forged varieties) works with Bastard Swords and Dwarven Axes. (However, Half-Orc's "Orcish Weapon Training" line does not).Quote:

What's the justification behind the difference?Quote:

"Great Weapon Aptitude: Glancing blows produced by your two-handed weapon attacks have a 2%/4%/6% increased chance of producing magical weapon effects such as flaming."
Note that HOs have access to both; WF/BF only get GWA. GWA's description should be modified so it doesn't specify "two-handed weapon attacks," though, since it applies to all glancing blows and not just those from 2H weapons.
Because DDO said so?Quote:
