Just need a clarification on this for a build experiment:
"A weapon’s size category isn’t the same as its size as an object. Instead, a weapon’s size category is keyed to the size of the intended wielder. In general, a light weapon is an object two size categories smaller than the wielder, a one-handed weapon is an object one size category smaller than the wielder, and a two-handed weapon is an object of the same size category as the wielder."
Would a huge light weapon remain classified as a light weapon or would it actually be reclassified as a two-handed weapon thus getting the increased strength bonus on attacks?

A Huge Light weapon is:
- an item that cannot be wielded as a weapon by Gargantuan or bigger creatures because it's too small.
- a Light weapon for Huge creatures. They cannot add 1.5x str to damage, since it's a light weapon.
- a 1-handed weapon for Large Creatures, which carries a -2 penalty to hit. They can add 1.5x str to damage if they wield it 2-handed.
- a 2-handed weapon for Medium Creatures, which carries a -4 penalty to hit. They do add 1.5x str to damage, since it's a 2-handed weapon.
- an item that cannot be wielded as a weapon by Small or smaller creatures because it's too big.
So it pretty much depends on who's using it.
Sorry, I thought I had added "for a medium creature" in there, but it apparently never made it from my brain to the keyboard.
Thanks for the help. It's what I assumed, just wanted to make sure I was not misunderstanding the wording so that it did not just become a light weapon that had to be two-handed.
