hi everoyone.
A titan fighter's Giant weapon wielder ability lets it wield two-handed weapons of one size category higher. so a human titan fighter can wield a large great sword. it says at an additional -2 penalty. when it says additional, does it mean -2 along with the -2 penalty one would normally have from wielding inappropriate sized weapons? or is this a rewording of the same penalty because you wouldn't normally be able to wield a large great sword with a -2 penalty.
"Giant Weapon Wielder (Ex)
At 1st level, a titan fighter can wield two-handed melee weapons intended for creatures one size category larger than himself, treating them as two-handed weapons. He takes an additional –2 penalty on attack rolls when using an over-sized two-handed weapon.
This ability replaces the fighter's 1st level bonus feat."
so yeah, would a level 1 human titan fighter wielding a large great sword be at -2 or -4?
-4
damn, makes it hard to hit anything with that kind of penalty.
Btw a Bastard Sword is a better large weapon than a large greatsword if you consider all the possible upgrades to damage (large greatsword does 3d6 dmg while large bastard sword does 2d8, with impact it's 4d6 vs 3d8 and with enlarge person it becomes 5d6 vs 4d8) and it is a one handed weapon so everyone with the exotic proficency can ehield the large version unlike what happens with a large greatsword that requires an archetype to do the same.
Also consider effortles lace: it's extremely cheap for what it does (reduce your to hit penalties).
it's actually 6d6 vs 4d8
or ~21 vs ~18
