Giant Blooded Trait plus Two Weapon Fighting question

[Wolvenjoe]

Hey guys,

The Giant Blooded trait reads:

"Your family has always been dogged by rumors that a bit of giant blood got into the family’s veins at some point. Whether this was through alchemical or magical experimentation, or because your great-great-grandfather married a giant, it has made you big for your race, and may
have given you other minor cosmetic features of giants, such as flaming red hair, a bluish tinge to your skin, or oversized hands. When you wield a weapon that is larger than your size, the penalty on attack rolls for using inappropriately sized weapons is reduced by half. In addition, you gain a +2 trait bonus to your CMD against awesome blow combat maneuvers. If you’re a dwarf, your stability racial trait applies to awesome blow combat maneuvers as well."

How would this work with wielding 2 lg sized Short swords with 2 weapon fighting?

1) Are the swords considered "Light" weapons?
2) For archtypes like Titan mauler or Titan Fighter, can it be considers that one-handed weapons such as longswords are light weapons?

Thanks!!!

No, a Large short sword is a One-Handed weapon for a Medium-sized user. You just have a -1 penalty when attacking with them instead of the normal -2 penalty you would of had for them being one size category larger than you.

Quote:

Inappropriately Sized Weapons: A creature can't make optimum use of a weapon that isn't properly sized for it. A cumulative –2 penalty applies on attack rolls for each size category of difference between the size of its intended wielder and the size of its actual wielder. If the creature isn't proficient with the weapon, a –4 nonproficiency penalty also applies.

The measure of how much effort it takes to use a weapon (whether the weapon is designated as a light, one-handed, or two-handed weapon for a particular wielder) is altered by one step for each size category of difference between the wielder's size and the size of the creature for which the weapon was designed. For example, a Small creature would wield a Medium one-handed weapon as a two-handed weapon. If a weapon's designation would be changed to something other than light, one-handed, or two-handed by this alteration, the creature can't wield the weapon at all.

Titan Fighter only lets you wield a Two-Handed weapon that is larger than you (which is normally impossible) in two hands, and reduces the penalty on attack rolls for using weapons not designed for a creature of your size. It doesn't change the handedness of weapons.

Titan Maulers Jotungrip only functions with size-appropriate two-handed weapons. Their Massive Weapons ability only reduces the attack roll penalty for using larger than normal weapons, it again doesn't change the handedness.

So the answer is no, in both cases.
