Pathfinder 1E Is there a magic item that would negate or lower the penalties for using over-sized weapons?

Is there a magic item (say a glove, gauntlet, or the like) that would negate or lower the penalties for using over-sized weapons?

My friend is considering playing as a Tital Mauler, and wants to know if there's a way she could suffer fewer penalties for using the weapons of the creatures she's defeated.

I already know that they have some ability to use oversized weapons, however, in the example, it shows that they can use an over-sized bastard sword as a two-handed greatsword. The problem with that, is what happens if she defeats an enemy using a large 2-handed weapon?

If there's an item out there that she could wear so her weapons could truly be rediculously oversized, I think it would make her very happy.

Thanks!

I don't know of any but there is no reason you could not make one up for her.

Which spells would have to be used for this to work?

I'm thinking a combination of Bull's Strength and Enlarge. Although, I can imagine many different spells could also be used.

Taking all suggestions!

Thanks

I'd make it a minor artifact so that it would be unique and no chance of others getting one. I'd let her research it and go on a quest for it. Having something like this earned I think makes it more important in the game and feel like reward. Maybe she would have to journey to the giants land and make peace with them and learn their ways. Once she fights along side the giants they gift here the relic of their god that allows here to do this.

There isn't one as written, no.

Paizo's been very reluctant to add this because the damage ramps up pretty quickly. Even in 3.5, using a two-handed weapon larger than your size required an epic (level 21+) feat.

Math-wise, you're looking at probably +4.5 damage per hit (multiplied by crits), which is pretty out of line for a low-level magical item.

Which isn't to say I wouldn't do it, just to tread carefully If this character needs the help, go for it! If she's in line with the other characters or in the lead, I wouldn't go near it.

As a general thought, I'd suggest making it a girdle or belt, because of the mythic resonance with Thor... but also because it'll conflict with the various belts to buff physical attributes. I'd also state explicitly that it doesn't stack with enlarge person.

Cheers!

Could you create an artifact or feat that allowed her to grasp large sized weapons and have them shrink to the appropriate size? Possibly growing again when let go?

Some options:
Giant Fist Gauntlets. These Don't actually do what you're asking, but it's a good measure to design your own item.
Juggernauts Pauldrons. These, along with any item that grants Enlarge Person, can allow you to use those big weapons.
Belt of Giant Strength. The penalty for using oversized weapons is a cumulative -2 per size increase. Anything that grants a Strength increase equal to the penalty. That won't alter the light/one handed/2 handed part.
Demon Talon: this item actually allows you to use a weapon one size category larger. You just have to cut off your own hand to have it, and might have awkwardness in polite social situations.
