For starters, I know from the SRD a large creature could wield a medium-sized greatsword as a one-handed weapon and take a -2 penalty for wielding an improperly sized weapon.
But can a medium sized creature wearing Strongarm Bracers wield a greatsword in one hand without penalty due to being able to wield as a large creature and having a properly sized weapon?
If a medium-sized creature without Strongarm Bracers tries to wield a greatsword in one hand, what penalty would he receive? Can he even try? Not even to defend himself while climbing?
Could I then, as a medium character with Strongarm Bracers, wield a Large rapier in one hand and a medium rapier in the other, finesse both and only get a -2 to attacks with two-weapon fighting?
Probably not since Strongarm bracers treat you as medium OR large, and wielding an improperly sized weapon penalties apply when you wield a greatsword one-handed because you are considered large when doing so whereas you are considered medium when wielding it in two-hands. I would like to know if thats how it would work.
