Titan Fighter Clarification

[dylanhurst2000]

so im playing a titan fighter/bard and wielding two great-swords, do items that increase two-handed weapon affect me or does the now count my great-swords as single handed weapons?

for example, do the "Bracers of Dominance"still affect my character, they state, "when the wearer confers a critical hit with a two-handed weapon, the enemy must pass a will saving throw or become unable to attack"

just kinda confused what my weapons count as now lol, thanks for the help.

Those are excellent questions. I've not tried the class myself, but I've seen posts about things not working as excpected. Maybe someone here knows. I'd be keen on knowing as well for future reference.

They SHOULDN'T count. According to the ability description: " It is treated as one-handed when determining the effects of the Power Attack feat, adding the Strength bonus on damage rolls, and for all other purposes."

Then again something like the Flying Attack on a Hyppogriff has the same kind of wording, in that case "this ability functions and counts as charging", except that the 2x damage from using a spear-type weapon doesn't work with Flying Attack while it DOES work with Charge even on the exact same mount. So I wouldn't really put any stock in the game's wording.

Dog companion has iterative natural attacks and uses two handed str stat on it. There's all sorts of weird stuff going on.

I'd be more forgiving of mistakes around the pathfinder ruleset itself, if the game doesn't outright tell you "this works this way". Technically the devs are within their rights to make homebrew changes to pretty much anything, but if they say "this works like a one handed weapon" it had better f***ing work like a one handed weapon.

As a counter example. Deadly Earth does either 8/3rds or 8x the damage it's supposed to do when cast, based on Pathfinder tabletop rules (I'm not actually sure if casting it should count as entering the area or not, in addition to the amount specifically stated to work on cast, hence the "or"). But this line "creatures and objects in contact with the ground within the area when you create it automatically take 1/4 of the normal damage from your blast with no saving throw. Any time a creature enters the area, it takes half the normal damage from your blast, as do creatures that end their turns in the area." does not actually exist anywhere in the Owlcat games, so they can change it however they want.

Edit: Btw the 2h strength is normal for dog bites. If a creature has only one Natural Attack and no weapon attacks, which is the case for Dogs who only have Bite, that attack gets 1+1/2 strength bonus just like a 2h weapon would. Iteratives are just wrong though.
