Hello,
im a bit confused about the Titan maulers massive weapons EX.
on paizos prd i found this:
Quote:
Massive Weapons (Ex): At 3rd level, a titan mauler becomes skilled in the use of massive weapons looted from her titanic foes. She can use two-handed weapons meant for creatures one size category larger, but the penalty for doing so is increased by 4. However, the attack roll penalty for using weapons too large for her size is reduced by 1, and this reduction increases by 1 for every three levels beyond 3rd (to a minimum of 0). This ability replaces trap sense.

In paizos FAQ i found this
Quote:
Barbarian--Titan Mauler: Can a Medium titan mauler wield a Large two-handed weapon, such as a Large greatsword?
No. The "Inappropriately Sized Weapons" rule (Core Rulebook 144) says (in summary) that a creature can't wield an inappropriately-sized weapon if the size difference would increase it one or more "steps" beyond "two-handed." None of the titan mauler's abilities say the character can break the "steps" part of the "Inappropriately Sized Weapons" rule, so the character still has to follow that rule.

i also read the german rule. the big marked sentence from above is completly missing there.
it seems something is not up to date somewhere.
the rule from paizo prd would explicitly allow a medium sized creature(human e.g.) to use a large two-handed-weapon.
the FAQ from paizo would explicitly forbid it, with exactly the same example.
the german rule doesnt mention that case at all.
if a medium Titan mauler may not use a large two-handed-weapon, the massive weapon EX would be kinda silly. at Level 18 the Penalty for oversized weapons is reduced by 6. but the Maximum possible penatly would be -4 (2 size categories. lightweapon goes one-handed, one-handed goes two-handed. so we are at -4. you cant size it up another category cause it would go beyond two-handed.)
whats correct here?
