Early/Mid Velious they had a big patch about 'adding' 2h dmg bonus- or more to the effect of they are modifying and adding the dmg bonus as a shown stat on items- the DMG 'bonus' works more like a minimum hit- pre this patch it was something static across 2h and 1h weapons like i think 5dmg on 1h and 10dmg on 2h- meaning you roll, you do not 'miss' but your dmg roll and or vs AC roll sucked you could literaly hit for +0 dmg thus you would slash for 5dmg or 10dmg respectively.

The 'big change' was they where upping the minimum hit for 1hs to I belive 10dmg cossboard- and adding in a calculation on 2hs based on delay of weapon to find out the "Dmg bonus" or more like "minimum hit before hit rol mod"

Ask a bard or a knight, we see 'minimum' hits all the time- slashing for 10 after 10 etc etc lol. It was then changed later- forgot when to put 1hs on the variable calculation of dmg bonus/minimum hit- when they did that they revamped 2h to give it a max dmg bonus because of the 100delay weapons etc.
