He insists that according to the first part of the benefit he can wield a great axe in either hand. The last line is where the confusion  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />  lies. I rule it as meaning no you can not. He says a larger weapon is considered a medium weapon for him so he could wield one in his off hand. Take a look, im in need of some support either way to end this argument.Here is the unwieldy description of the benefits1.)You can use melee weapons one size category larger than you are with a -2 to the attack roll.Simple enough2.)You can wield a larger light weapon as a light weapon. I take this to mean, for instance an ogre size light weapon like a medium size warax for example could be wielded in one hand and would count as a light weapon.3.)or you can wield a larger two handed weapon in two hands.I take this to mean for instance a weapon that is a large weapon for a large creature. For instance a ogre's great axe. 2d12 damage.4.)You can not wield a larger weapon in your off hand or a larger double weapon at all.I take this to mean he cant use the great ax in his off hand.Does anyone see anything wrong from a realistic point of view with a dwarf wielding 2 great axes one in each hand?, or even just 1 in one hand as the feat allows?, how about a human fighting two weapon style with greatswords? Im considering not allowing this feat at all, or maybe leaving it alone and adding a strength prerequisite of maybe 21 does that sound about right? An ogre the weakest creature that wields one is strength 21 and the weapon is not oversized for him to swing with one hand. The prereq. is base attack +1 as written in the complete warrior.Many thanks to those helpful who respond to my post. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
