No, he cannot use a large 2 handed weapon.

There are three weapon categories: 2 handed, 1 handed, light. This is different from the size of the weapon, but they are related.

For every size difference between the weapon and the user, the category shifts accordingly.

A small great sword counts as a '1 handed' weapon to a medium creature. A large dagger counts as a '2 handed' weapon to a small creature. it is -2 to use these weapons on top of how you hold them (large longsword has both a -2 penalty and requires two hands for a medium creature to use it).

You cannot wield something that is 'greater than' the 2 handed category. A medium creature cannot wield a large great sword, a small creature cannot use a medium great sword. It is just as impossible as using a great sword with one hand; it is a 2 handed weapon and must be used with two hands.

I'm pretty sure i know what you mean but it seems that you forget one point about my OP. The half giant is considered one size larger for the purpose of weilding weapon.

Then he is considered a large creature and therefore i don't see why he could not use a large greatsword the same way humans are weilding medium greatswords.

My problem about him (a large creature)is using a 2 handed huge weapon!

Sounds to me he can't right?

Spellstrike allow a magus to make a free weapon attack to deliver a touch spell effectively combining weapon damage + spell effect.

Chill touch says "...You can use this melee touch attack up to
one time per level."

Does it means that a level 2 magus, using a longsword for exemple, could use a full attack action to swing at ennemy #1 with his longsword + chill touch effect and then again swining at ennemy #2 with longsword + chill touch effect?

sounds like a pretty awsome combo for a level 1 spell use, i must be mistaken.

Of course the old timer in me miss the good old days in Greyhawk and Forgotten realms but that being said Eberron is by far THE BEST SETTING for D&D/ Pathfinder period, second only to Ravenloft!
I love Pathfinder and the way they "rescue" D&D but like the OP i too find Golarion to the be quite boring!

The warforged, the dragonmark, elemental bound object/ vehicle, the concept of the planes "orbiting" instead of just sitting there, i could go on and on about Eberron but thats not the point of the OP.

If i would ever consider starting an AP in Eberron it would be Carrion Crown right in Karnnath, that realm "beg" for it!
Replace the whispering tyrant and the whispering way by Vol and the emerald claws and their you go!

Minimal changes and very few fine tuining in my opinion!

Eberron is a SOLID setting and Carrion Crown is by far one of the best AP, you can't go wrong with these!

I'm about to launch the CC adventure path soon.

While looking for more resource to had to the experience i found about the Carrion hill module. From what i read it seems it is in perfect line with the CC path but need some fine tuning!

I have some questions here:

Does the adventure path REALLY benefit from carrion hill module, i mean beside the flavor those extra XP are they really needed?

Is the amount of time needed to adjust Carrion hill to fit in (level/ challengewise) really worth it?

For those who did include it in their CC campaing what is your thought on it, what have you done wrong/right.
What could have been done otherwise or not?

i'm playin in a group where the DM rule that whatever the roll is for 20 always succed and 1 always fail!

That's a fact for "to hit" and "save" roll but what about skill check, spell resistance (SR) roll?
I have seen nothing about these so far so am i wrong or the DM is clearly house ruling the whole thing?

During today's game when the caster tried for the first time his new toy (confusion spell) something weird and let say ridiculous happend.

2 roc trolls came out from hiding in the surrounding rocky cliffs charging at them ( players).
they were quite close from one another so at the caster turn he got them both confused.

On the trolls next turn one hit himself and the other hit the other troll!
Trying to rule it out the best way i could (as RAW) we ended up with 2 trolls bashing at each other for 8 rounds in a never ending wheel. Wait for the spell to end to get thing as normal?... the caster can use it 3 more times per day!
We all realised that the way it is written it could easely lead pretty much all the time to a never ending wheel of "you hit me i hit you... you hit me i hit you.. rince and repeat!

The big problem come from the wording "Any
confused character who is attacked automatically attacks its
attackers on its next turn, as long as it is still confused when its
turn comes"
So for the rest of the game i ruled that confusion would allow a new %roll for each affected monster at the begining of his turn as long as the spell last. Everybody were more at ease that way i would add.

So is there any errata or FAQ adressing this cituation or it is really the way the game designers wanted it to be?

P.S. I'm not ranting or trolling! It is really a wording question about a spell that might (and actualy did) lead to ridiculous cituation.

a level 4 monk with at least 1 ki point can make ki strike. the wording of ki strike says that his unarmed attack are threated as magic weapon for bypassing magic DR.
When you read the defenition of incorporeal it says that "magic weapons" can harm the incorporeal creature by they are not talking about magic DR.
So can we say that the said monk can harm a ghost with his ki strike or i'm doin a wrong interpretation of the rules?

I just realised that me (the DM) and my players have a very different way to come up with the exact price of magic item, more precisely magic weapons!

dwarven waraxe +1 => 2000 gold
flaming quality => +1 enhancement price

So a +1 flaming waraxe => +2 weapon
Total price = 8000 gold

I'm i correct?
