Tiefling reloading a Ballista alone?


Rules Questions


Core rulebook, p. 435 wrote:
Ballista: A ballista is essentially a Huge heavy crossbow fixed in place. Its size makes it hard for most creatures to aim it. Thus, a Medium creature takes a –4 penalty on attack rolls when using a ballista, and a Small creature takes a –6 penalty. It takes a creature smaller than Large two full-round actions to reload the ballista after firing.

Now, we have a tiefling who rolled a '16' on the Variant Abilities and Physical Features table:

You have over-sized limbs, allowing you to use Large weapons without penalty.

Would this be enough to count as a Large creature (assuming a medium-sized tiefling) for the purposes of reloading a ballista?

The Exchange

I'd give a -2 penalty, it's still a Huge weapon, plus the character themselves are not Large.

-2 to hit, certainly! No debate about that.

But what about the reloading time?
