Some warriors are not satisfied with just big weapons—they want the biggest weapon possible!
Since you cannot use oversize weapons if you are Small, this primal path is not suited to most Small characters.
Finding such weapons can be hard. You can order one from a smith, but finding one as loot after defeating a large foe like an ogre or giant is common—especially for magic weapons. An oversize weapon costs and weights ten times as much as an ordinary weapon of its kind. Such a weapon is treated as a Greataxe, Greatclub, Greatsword, Heavy Crossbow, Javelin, Maul, or Pike to you, even tough it might have been a similar but one-handed weapon to the creature that originally used it. An oversize weapon in your hands gains the heavy and two-handed properties and loses the finesse, light, and thrown properties.
