Titan Mauler instinct

[Chawmaster]

I am confused about the wording of the last two sentences of the Titan Mauler instinct, which state:

"When wielding such a weapon in combat, increase your additional damage from Rage from 2 to 6, but you have the clumsy 1 condition because of the weapon's unwieldy size. You can't remove this clumsy condition or ignore its penalties by any means while wielding the weapon."

Does this mean you only have the clumsy weapon while raging? Or do you have that condition whenever you are wielding the weapon.

The second. The last sentence you quoted is your answer.

Read on its own, the last sentence seems clear and I agree with you.

I think what's throwing me off is the "but" in the previous sentence, which seems to imply the condition is based upon the Rage.

“When wielding such a weapon in combat... you have the clumsy 1 condition because of the weapon's unwieldy size. You can't remove this clumsy condition or ignore its penalties by any means while wielding the weapon. Increase your additional damage from Rage from 2 to 6.”

If you rearrange the the rage bit, the sentence structure is fairly clear. The second sentence is there to specify that the condition can’t be removed by any means. The “but” is used to contrast the rage benefit from the condition detriment.

Thanks for the clarification. I speak 'math' better than I speak English...
