-twohand bastard sword damage

It's applied as slashing damage, I don't think it's stacking properly with existing slashing damage of the weapon, maybe add it as bludgeoning instead?

The damage applied is based on the weapon damage type. The effect is applied on the PC itself, not the weapon. Maybe a NWN bug but seems odd. Are you sure?

It may be the same as of enhancement+bonus damage as of the base weapon. As in...

+2 Enhancement on a longsword won't stack with +2 slashing damage. I fear it might happen here as well.

Ideally, bonus damage should always differ from the weapon damage type. That's why barbarians using piercing weapons aren't that good.

And since this feature only works with one slashing weapon, turning the damage to piercing or bludgeoning would work.

Technically all weapons wielded by ogres.

Also note worthy, this doesn't occur with double damage type weapons like scythe and morning star, those stack normally.

DOUBLEPOST.

Further testing seems to imply it's stacking properly, and my initial observations may have been wrong...

I was gonna say, seems good to me. I am normally not capable of the 104 point crits I was getting without the extra damage bonus :)
