Can a creature with powerful build use a two-handed weapon of its size in one hand (without the 1.5X str to damage of course)? So lets take a goliath (a medium creature with powerful build ability). Can it use a medium spiked chain in one hand while using a shield (and retaining the 10ft reach of the weapon) without taking any penalty to attack (or is there a penalty to attack)? I know that it can use a large spiked chain in two hands without any penalty (while still havng only 10ft reach). And I know that a large creature can use a medium weapon as if it was one weapon size smaller if they take a penalty(so a two-handed weapon can be weilded as a one-handed weapon). What about the medium creature with powerful build (since a medium weapon is not unusual for it, which is similar to the justification they give why a large creature gets a penalty for using a medium weapon).</blockquote>
