[QUOTE="BlindKobold, post: 66577, member: 1375"] Actually... this implies that it is an exotic weapon (as opposed to a martial weapon) to anyone who is not a Medium sized character. You can twist it in several ways actually... depends where you put the emphasize... "A [b]Medium[/b] sized character can use a bastard sword two-handed as a martial weapon" Only medium characters get this weapon as a MARTIAL weapon, all others don't get it and must spend a feat to use it. "A Medium sized [b]character[/b] can use a bastard sword two-handed as a martial weapon" Characters can use it two-handed, NPCs and monsters must take a feat to use it. "A Medium sized character can use a bastard sword two-handed as a [B]martial weapon[/b]" A medium character gets it as a martial weapon. No one else gets it as a martial weapon. Slight variations on interpretations. So what YOU think it implies may be COMPLETELY different from what it actually means, from what someone else thinks it implies or what the creaters actually meant. [/QUOTE]
