@ what PS would you allow someone(thing) to wield 2Hed weapons in one hand.

Human:ps
SuperNat:ps

I'm thinking around 40?

I don't know, really... I can weild my great-grandfather's claymore one-handed, with little difficulty. And I'm not exceptionally strong.

i know that in one of the pf books there is a barbian who can wield two handed weapons Paird (as in one two handed weapon in each hand) ... i know this cause my character is a wolfen barbaian with this abiltity

thanks for the back up greenghost... if i remember right there is no penitlies for that character

so basiclly anyone with trianing can do it.. or at least thats would i say... maybe add it too the martial art or assian but only if the character asked for it maybe buy level 5 or so

i may not know the system a well as everyone else .. but i had a thought on HOW it could be 'legally' done ...

* WP- Sword ...
that means you can wield a sword ...
* WP - paired means after spending time ..
you can now wield 2 swords ... well they are now the ONE-handed variety ...

now add into the mix if a character has the height of 6'+ .. and a minimum PS of 36 [normal] .. by taking a WP - Specialty sword .. that should be able to give you the wits and know how to handle the TWO-handed sword with one hand.

why the extra WP ? .. its a speciality and one that WONT give you negs to hit.
otherwise i would say at level 1 skill .. you are now currently at a -6 .. level 2 a - 4 .. level 3 a -2 ... and at the equiv of level 4 .. you have NO negatives and can work with bonuses.

but there .. its just MY thoughts on the subject. probably way too late to be of help . but still its a point of view that is a bit different

Your great-grandfather's claymore?!? Awesome! Has it been in any battles?

A few, especially in his great-grandfather's time.

Character's strength has much to do with it, although without two hands can it be balanced and effectively used as a weapon?
