2-handed weapon + strength penalty ?

[kmal2t]

When I used search I saw this addressed before, but I couldn't find it actually answered by a Paizo representative.

If you have a strength penalty and use a weapon two handed does it help mitigate that penalty?

Example: -1 str penalty (*1.5 = 1.5 ... 1.5 - 1 = - .5 (and rounded up or down by rules?)

other one: -2 str pen (*1.5 = 3...3-2 = -1 now)

obviously you wouldn't add additional penalties two handed like -1 * 1.5 to make it now 1.5 for using that extra hand.

Is there an errata answer I didn't see someone can link me to or will this just have to be houseruled?

Only your strength bonus is multiplied or affected in any way by two-handing or using a weapon off-hand. If your strength score results in a strength penalty, the number you apply to damage will be constant regardless of the way you wield the weapon.

Strength Bonus

When you hit with a melee or thrown weapon, including a sling, add your Strength modifier to the damage result. A Strength penalty, but not a bonus, applies on damage rolls made with a bow that is not a composite bow.

Off-Hand Weapon

When you deal damage with a weapon in your off hand, you add only 1/2 your Strength bonus. If you have a Strength penalty, the entire penalty applies.

Wielding a Weapon Two-Handed

When you deal damage with a weapon that you are wielding two-handed, you add 1-1/2 times your Strength bonus (Strength penalties are not multiplied). You don't get this higher Strength bonus, however, when using a light weapons with two hands.

Emphasis mine.
