How many different ways are there to wield a larger weapon?

What feats and class features are there that you can use to wield a larger weapon than you normally should be able or to lessen the penalties for doing so?

A few options I'm aware of:
* EWP (bastard sword) + Large bastard sword (or dwarven waraxe)
* Goblin Gunslinger feat
* Titan mauler archetype (well, kind of...)

Anything else?

Sovereign Court

Fiendish heritage: Oversized limbs to wield larger weapons but well that's only if the dm want to let you do the rolls of Tiefling fiendish heritage.


In a way thunder and fang. Because it allows you to wield an earthbreaker as one-handed weapon.
Same way quarterstaff master allows you to use the quarterstaff as one-handed weapon.
But there is no ability that straight out allows you to wield oversized two-handed weapons. At least not without using third party or D&D3.x stuff.


Enlarge yourself somehow while not carrying the weapon then pick it up.

Good to know! I do remember in 3.5 there was Monkey Grip and some other character options, but thanks for confirming my suspicion that Paizo's PF products don't have anything that works the same way. (Except oversized limbs mentioned above.)


Oversized limbs doesn't allow it. With that you do not get a penalty for wielding oversized weapons you CAN wield, it does not give you the ability to wield bigger weapons.
