So we know that double bladed weapons rely on duel-weapon feats to effectively use right.
But are double bladed weapons considered duel-weapons when using in terms of the STR multiplier? If not, that would then mean that they are two handed weapons technically also, and thus get a 1.5 STR multiplier, effectively increasing the damage output via STR for each blade. Meaning you are using two two-handed weapons at a damage output of 1d6 for each blade.

Would this be right?

So effectively the same as weilding a two handed weapons and a light handed weapon as far as the STR bonus goes.
Well that clears up some things, interesting.

Its the same as dualwielding yes.

I didn't understand your answer, I'm putting it down to it being beyond midnight in NZ though.

The plus of using the dual weapons is supposed to be that you can get a d8/d8 weapon and still only hae -2/-2 AB, as opposed to dual wielding longswords for -4/-4.
