Large Weapons

[SadisticFishing]

Hi, I just got a cool idea for a character - intelligent, charismatic minotaur warlord. I really like the idea, and have always wanted to play a minotaur, so I think I may just stick with it.

Question, though, for someone who has the books: What does the new version of Powerful Build do?

Is it... like, I can use a 2h weapon in one hand? So I'd be single handing a greatsword? Or does it increase damage, like 3.5, and a greatsword would do 2d8? (Kinda hope it's that latter, but don't expect it, that'd be a lot of damage.) Or something else I haven't thought of?

Thanks!

The minotaur can use a Large weapon as if it were Medium.

Large weapons go up one die on the scale, basically an improvement of +1 damage on average.

Large creatures can 1H medium 2H weapons, but that particular benefit doesn't seem to extend to the minotaur's oversized ability.
