Bugbears and Minotaurs in the character builder aren't using their Oversized property, nor is there an option to do so. At the very least I'm not seeing it.

They should be. I had a bugbear ranger dual wielding Large Craghammers and Large Bastard Swords. If you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the weapons list you'll see Large weapons listed last.

Minotaurs got their Oversized property nerfed in the "Playing Minotaurs" article anyway.

Found it, thanks.

I thought Mike Mearls had said somewhere that PC's should never have access to oversized weapons. Hence the nerf in the Minotaurs article.

He did, however if a DM let's a player have a bugbear or MM minotaur then that's something they have accepted (or didn't know was an issue :P)

Okay but then a PC using an Oversized weapon should be marked not legal. Although are PCs using Monster Races already marked non-legal?

I'm not sure what's up with that tag. Legal under what rules? Not the RPGA from what I know.

I think it is meant to do with the RPGA tournaments.
