Hi all,

I haven't played in a really long time, but looking to get back into it but would like an in-person campaign to play in, preferably 1st edition Pathfinder.

I currently live in Fremont. Thank you!

PRD says so.

Bludgeoner (Combat)

You can knock foes out cold with just about any blunt instrument.
Benefit: You take no penalty on attack rolls for using a lethal bludgeoning weapon to deal nonlethal damage.
Normal: You take a –4 penalty on attack rolls when using a lethal weapon to deal nonlethal damage. You cannot use a lethal weapon to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack.
Special: A rogue with this feat can use a lethal bludgeoning weapon to deal nonlethal damage with a sneak attack.

And of course, sneak attack applies to both lethal and nonlethal.

Doh! Guess I missed that part. Thanks!

If you don't have EWP: bastard sword the medium sword is 2handed and then progresses to unwieldable at large size. In order for a medium creature to use a large bastard sword they need the EWP feat. Allowing them to use the 1handed to 2handed progression steps.

Jotungrip would not function for a large sword. it specifically states the weapon must be appropriately sized to the wielder. medium wielder = medium 2handed weapon in 1 hand. This would work on a medium bastard sword for someone without the EWP, but at the normal jotungrip penalty.

Massive weapons will eventually negate the -2 penalty for using a large weapon, but still does not have language allowing you to ignore the light>1handed>2handed>unwieldable progression.

Ah, ok. Thank you for clearing that up.

Is a character who is proficient with martial weapons able to wield a Large Bastard Sword as a martial weapon (2-handed) WITHOUT the exotic weapon proficiency? Or does the character need to take the 'exotic weapon proficiency: bastard sword' feat in order to use the large version 2-handed?

The Bastard Sword description says it can be wielded as a martial weapon with 2 hands. So if I have a character that is proficient with ALL martial weapons, would I still have the -4 non-proficiency penalty?

Thanks for the heads up, I'll see if I can get an answer over there too.

If I have Titan Mauler archetype for Barbarian and have the Jotungrip ability active, is it possible to wield it with one hand? (assuming I have the exotic weapon proficiency feat)
