LL isnt just an exact copy of the old Red book- its the old Red book - new & improved!!!
Agreed.
I pondered this very topic the other day. I wonder If you think of 2H weapons as "longer handles" rather than strength to put behind a weapon you hold with two hands - it makes a little more sense... emphasis on the little!
I really liked the Middle Earth Role Playing system, and Role Master. Those systems allowed any class to learn any weapons, it was just more difficult for a mage to learn a long sword or two handed axe as opposed to a warrior wanting to learn those.
I like the house rules suggested here.
