True...
I would rather have the Distance Weapon, though. Oh, well.
Well... It's very true that it could work well. And a Farbond Fullblade just sounds like sex.
WAIT! What about a two-handed weapon? There could be shenanigans! Is the sacrifice in a shield bonus worth it?
EDIT;
Lotulis has the defensive property, and Defensive. It's a double weapon, so two-weapon feats will apply, so I can still get a Shield Bonus with Two-Weapon Defense.
YES!
