I have noticed that when i selected a Bugbear the character builder equipped a Medium two handed weapon to both slots regardless of the racial ability.

Oversized: You can use weapons of your size or one size larger than you as if they were your size.

IMHO, working as intended. Oversized says you can use a large weapon as if it were medium. It says nothing about using a normal weapon as if it were small. You're not large, you just get a specific exception to the normal rules that lets you use larger weapons.

Right, you are not a large creature. You are still medium so those rules do not apply to you.

The racial ability simply does what it says, it doesn't make you count as large.

I had the feeling that might be the case, but lost half my post in a ctrl+z accident. Since moved towards a Bugbear barbarian using a large 2h hammer.

Thanks for the confirmation! :D
