If you are using it for the Two Weapon Fighting option, then no, it is then calculated as a standard One Handed Weapon, and an off-hand Light Weapon. 2) You only multily Strength BONUSES, not Strength Penalties. A) Two Handed Weapon, just subtract the Strength Penalty, no multiplication. B) Subtract the Strength Penalty. c) Still subtracting the Strength Penalty, no multiplication. Same as if you have a negative Dexterity modifier, and lose your Dex Bonus. You do not get harder to hit, because you lose your BONUS, not your penalty... you get to keep that. :D
