A weird Duelist Question


Rules Questions

Shadow Lodge

Allow me to say, this isn't an optimal thing, but I am wondering if it works anyways.

Questions: Can a Duelist use precise strike if wielding a on-handed weapon with two hands (for the strength and half and increased power attack damage)?

Relevant text: A duelist gains the ability to strike precisely with a light or one-handed piercing weapon, adding her duelist level to her damage roll.

When making a precise strike, a duelist cannot attack with a weapon in her other hand or use a shield. A duelist's precise strike only works against living creatures with discernible anatomies. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is also immune to a precise strike, and any item or ability that protects a creature from critical hits also protects a creature from a precise strike.

If you are attacking while wielding your weapon in two hands, then you are by default attacking with a weapon in your other hand. The rules presume a normal bipedal humanoid with two arms and two hands.
