Depending on how you interpret it, Hammer of Moradin might let you go from 0.5 to 1 on your off hand, but only with Warhammers.

buffs. Heh, anyone tried passing you polymorphed as an ettin
to the DM and see if he/she buys it?

01-22-06, 08:33 PM Doesn't the Hammer of Moradin get to tack on an additional .5 Str damage with a warhammer? I seem to recall that.

Funny, I think I have an e-mail in my inbox somewhere from CustServ telling me you get full strength on both. But then again, they are rather notorious for erroneous rulings.

Here (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/weapons.htm#doubleWeapons) is the relevant information.
