Would a Level 3 Phalanx Soldier wielding a shield and Glaive be able to make use of the Furious Focus feat?
Phalanx Fighting (Ex): At 3rd level, when a phalanx soldier wields a shield, he can use any polearm or spear of his size as a one-handed weapon.
Furious Focus (Combat): When you are wielding a two-handed weapon or a one-handed weapon with two hands...
A) Yes, the Glaive is still a two-handed weapon, even though he is using it as a one-handed weapon
B) No, he isn't using both hands, so it doesn't count as wielding a two-handed weapon
For reference, the wording is also the same for Power Attack: "This bonus to damage is increased by half (+50%) if you are making an attack with a two-handed weapon..."
but not for two-handed strength bonus: "When you deal damage with a weapon that you are wielding two-handed, you add 1-1/2 times your Strength bonus..."
Its still a two-handed weapon regardless of how you are wielding it [A] by RAW. Some GMs may rule this as [B] RAI.
