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!!!

in answer to your post yes it would still be considered a light weapon catagory wise what prevented people from doing this was the -4 penalty to using a weapon not built for your size.

so two weapon fighting would be -6/-6 without this trait and -4/-4 with this trait for using large sized short swords.

up side they count as light weapons and deal 1d8 down side you are sacking a trait, and still taking -4 penalty to attack, plus when you make an attack with one of the swords on its own say at the end of a charge or as part of vital strike or something it still has a -2 penalty.

so it is up to the individual player if this is worth it or not.

apologies follow jerra's answer in the other post mine is based more on 3.5, and not on pathfinder did not realize the rules for that part had changed

The Giant Blooded trait does not open up new avenues for size.

You can not wield large weapons in anything other than two hands

Basically what it means that if the iconic barbarian Amiri had taken this trait her penalty to hit for wielding her oversize bastard sword is reduced from -2 to -1.

That is ALL the trait gives you.

The rules for weapon size haven't changed between 3.5 and Pathfinder. Even in 3.5, a Large short sword was still a One Handed weapon for medium users.
