Tiefling ability- WHAT?

[Captain Sir Hexen Ineptus]

Well with the last two threads *cough* talking about using oversized weapons. I couldn't help but look at the tiefling.

1: Racial Ability: You have over-sized limbs, allowing you to use Large weapons without penalty.(This means you don't take the -2 to hit, you still need to use both hands to use a large size one handed weapon, right?

2: Superior Clutch: Your hands not only are bigger than normal, but also have a strong grip useful for wielding large weapons.
Benefit You gain a +1 trait bonus on damage rolls when using weapons intended for creatures of a larger size.

So am I reading this right, not only would you not take a -2 to wielding, lets say,... a falcata, but get a +1 bonus to damage on top of that?

According to what you posted, just a +1 on damage, not to hit

There's a similar situation when dealing with a Double weapon used to TWF. The rules state that you apply penalties as if you were wielding a 1-h weapon with a light in your off-hand. Does this mean just the TWF attack penalties, or does penalties include cutting the strength bonus, since a Double weapon is still a 2-h weapon and, by the rules, your main-hand attack with a 2-h weapon gets 1.5x Str bonus. So if penalties only applies to attack roll penalties, then the "handedness" of an oversized weapon is not affected by this Racial Ability but it also means that a Double weapon gets 1.5x Str bonus on its main-head attack (since, again, penalties only applies to attack roll penalty and not affecting strength bonus). Otherwise, penalties affects handedness in your example and also affects strength bonus in the case of a double weapon. Your move, Paizo.

Wow I completely over-looked that, yes it is +1 damage. I must need coffee.

That's what it says, yes. Provided you get them both, of course.
