Bastard Sword and Furious Focus (APG)

[reveal]

The description of Furious Focus states "[w]hen you are wielding a two-handed weapon or a one-handed weapon with two hands". My son's fighter is 5th level and has Power Attack. He wields a bastard sword but took the Exotic Weapon Proficiency so he could also carry a shield.

So the question is, since a bastard sword is a "two-handed weapon" that can be used one-handed with specific training, does it count as wielding a two-handed weapon for this feat when used in just one hand?

I would say no, you need to be wielding the weapon with 2 hands.

But I can see why you would make an exception of the Bastard Sword, so it's up to you

 

[BryonD]

The bastard sword is an exotic "one handed melee weapon".
It can also be used two handed as a martial weapon.

I think in context of this question that is significantly different than a two handed martial weapon, which may be used one handed as an exotic.

From what you quoted, I'd say that you need to be using the weapon with two hands. Since the fighter is using the weapon in one hand, he is using it as a one-handed weapon, so the feat would not apply.

+1 Agree w/ majority.

This.

To elaborate: This.

I agree with the others, you would need to be using in in both hands
