Rules Update: Two-Handed Weapons, and skills that benefit them (+ List Updates)

Dragoons just keep getting stronger and stronger every day    I can assume that these changes will take place in the Online Rulebook if they haven't already for look-up purposes?

Nah, I figured I'd leave them out and make them oral tradition rules. 

If someone is holding a polearm, staff, 2HE/B, or bastard weapon in one hand, can I disarm it?

That's actually a good question - the answer is Yes.  The wording should say "if it is held as a two-handed weapon" (to differentiate holding a Bastard weapon in one hand vs. two), similar to Hone Weapon, I'll reflect it when I [strike]add it to the Online Rulebook[/strike] pass it on as an oral tradition.

A subtlety to also note is that Master Disarm has NOT changed... meaning it can still disarm weapons the normal Disarm cannot.

Geoff thank you for reading my mind i was about to ask about master disarm

cody.. in refrence to your commentary about weilding a 2HE magainst someone with florentine or a shield.. as a berserker.. this is all i have to say "break shield" "shatter weapon".

True true, very true, but would be nice if they were a little cheaper.

Strength +1 (Continuous)
With this damage augmenting skill, a character is stronger than a normal person, and can add one to her normal weapon damage, or two to her normal weapon damage if she is wielding a 2HE, 2HB, or Pole-arm weapon.  See the Combat section for full details on how much a character may carry / lift.

I just wish to confirm that the +2 only applies to 2 handed edge, blunt, and polearms.  Not to bastard weapons wielded with 2 hands.

You are correct.
