OK, so I noticed that Amiri (a la KM pre-gens)uses a size L bastard sword and has EWP(bastard sword). Does this mean that, with the feat you'd be able to wield this beast two-handed with no penalties, 2h with the -2 penalty, 1 handed with the -2 penalty? I'm a bit confused here. Is the purpose of having the feat so that it can be designated as a 1h weapon and can therefore be used 2 handed (whereas without the feat it wouldn't be weildable at all)?
Your questions were a little confusing but I'll do my best...
The bastard sword can be used 2-handed as a martial weapon. This means there is no penalty. It can be used 1-handed, but will incur the non-proficient penalty unless you take the EWP.
Amiri's case is special; her weapon is Large, sized for a large creature like an ogre or hill giant. I don't know off the top of my head how the feats and penalties apply to an oversized weapon. It may be that the EWP allows her to use the sword 1- or 2-handed with a reduced penalty for being oversized. However, I'd like to get an official explanation before I give a solid answer.
