If it isn't kosher with official rules, wouldn't you be able to make a good argument for a house rule change at least?

Oversized Two Weapon lets you treat a one handed weapon as a light weapon.

It does nothing at all for a two handed weapon.

Thanks for your input.

Keep in mind that it treats a one handed weapon as a light weapon ONLY for the purposes of determining your penalty for TWF and it ONLY works in your off hand.
