[RPG] Does the Dueling damage bonus not apply to Two-Handed Weapons

combatdnd-5efighting-styleweapons

The Dueling fighting style is defined as following (PHB p 72):

"When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon"

Can I assume this means we do not get the +2 bonus when wielding two-handed weapons such as a pike, glaive or halberd?

Best Answer

Being possessed of the Dueling fighting style doesn't preclude the use of a two-handed weapon. You can still use a two-handed weapon as you normally would.

However, when you do so you do not gain the bonus provided by Dueling as you no longer meet the prerequisite. I.e. as the weapon "requires two hands to use" (Weapon Properties, pp.146-147, at "Two-Handed") neither hand can singly be said to be wielding the weapon as the style would require.
