Weapon Sizes and the Bastard Sword

[Starglim]

How?

"A bastard sword is too large to use in one hand without special training."

If you don't have special training, it's too large to use. Not too large to use well, or too large to use without a penalty; too large to use.

Hm. Good point. By its placement, that certainly seems to be a rule and not flavour text.

Wouldn't that mean that it was cheaper of someone with the feat to buy a silvered version of the weapon?

Nah, as I said somewhere up there, there are basically two designations. The base one, which cost, weight, hp and stuff are obviously based on. And one relative to the wearer, which measures the effort to use it.

The rules about different sized weapons clearly change the designation *anyways*, depending on who picks the sword up (and what size they are), so that's not something specific to bastard swords or my interpretation of them.
