In the online generator, it gives the option for "LARGE" weapons, that are not in the book... and no where does it describe, why, for who, etc...

Do any of you know who the weapon is for... only Half-giants? Only wielded two-handed??

Thanks!

The Bugbears in the Monster Manual are a monster race written up for (N)PC usage.  They have a trait that lets them use Large sized weapons.  Minotaurs used to have it as well, before they got a proper PC race writeup.  It's not really intended for PC usage, as it throws a bunch of other stuff out of whack.  It's a bit surprising that they included the option in the new CB.  Everyone expects Bugbears to lose the trait if they ever get a PC writeup.

Half-Giants cannot by default use Large weapons.  There may be some feat/Paragon Path/Epic Destiny/whatever that I'm forgetting that lets them use Large weapons, but in general they use the same weapons as everyone else.


(Large sized weapons are covered in the Player's Handbook.  But it's more a vestigial 3.x rule than something that should be used in 4e.)
