The only effect that I can see is that you are no longer restricted to light armor to make use of the feat.

Reading the PHB it looks like Ambidexterity and Two-weapon fighting would apply to a 2-bladed sword as well. Add to this Weapon focus and you are set to go ;)

craig, the Player's Handbook says specifically that the "free" ambidexterity and two weapon fighting feats that rangers get at first level DO NOT apply to two-bladed weapons. The PHB only mentions this in the ranger description.

More precisely friends.....the ambidexterity and two-weapon fighting skills of a ranger DO NOT apply to DOUBLE WEAPONS...this includes any single weapon that can be used two handed for double attacks, such as a double sword or quarterstaff or anything else.

Kind of a bummer, but what are you gonna do.
