Half-giant alchemist + enlarge person


Rules Questions


okay a half giant powerful build allows them to wield a large weapon as if it were a medium weapon. yes?

Large greatsword does 3d6 damage.

enlarge person raises the person and there gear on them one size category right?

What is the damage for a huge greatsword???


Weapon Damage Increases.


thanks nice and simple


4d6


sense my last question is being answered easily I can hope my understanding of half giant is right.


It is amazing how easy that was made.

& yes you are correct.


The one from Psionics Unleased? yes their powerful build gives them the ability to use weapons one size category larger than them selves with no penalty (although the ability itself is somewhat poorly written and it is kind of buried in the same paragraph with info about them counting as one size larger when swallowed whole...


new question Tower shield has a -2 due encumbrance would this still apply to a half giant with powerful build? I would think no if he can wield a sword one size large then him the little wight this shield adds should not effect him that much. right?


Yes, it still applies, the tower shield penalty is not a penalty for wielding a weapon one size category to large.

In order for a half-giant to be able to use a tower shield with out the penalty the Powerful Build racial trait would have to mention it specifically.
