Tiefling Heritages

[Sergeek The Mad]

It all started from weird desire to use large two-handed weapon and now I'm stuck with this fella because of variant heritages.
I have two questions regarding those:

1. Will over-sized limbs make your character eligible to swing two-handed large weapons? From the exact wording it seems it'll just cut penalties from light/1H weapons, but I saw some threads/builds where it was used exactly like I want.

2. How do I get those variant heritages? There is a feat for it, but there's also this line in "Variant Abilities and Physical Features":
Players with a particular character concept in mind may consult their GM if they want to select a specific variant ability or may take the Fiendish Heritage feat
Does it mean I can use it without spending featslot if my GM allows so?

Well you can do anything if your GM allows so. GM can also say that you can't take traits off the table at all.

It is worth asking however, since the alternate racial modifiers are available for free to Aasimars and Skinwalkers; in games where I've taken the alternate racial modifiers my GM's just treated them like other races that you could take for free.

It seem that the latest version of heritages in Blood of Fiends don't require the feat.
Still, over-sized limbs question stands open.

Over-sized limbs has the same language as the Redcap Heavy Weapons ability so you should be able to wield large two-handed weapons as a medium Tiefling

But on the other hand - Ash Giants have "Oversized Weapon (Ex)"(same wording too) and they wield huge clubs, which are one-handed.

Yes, but they're wielding them one-handed.

I believe the consensus is that the Tiefling ability works just like the Redcap one.

Wow! Didn't notice it - this is quite awesome.

I've seen other threads where the concensus was different.
