Huge weapons need lovin'

[louisvilleslugger]

Huge weapons have a few problems.

1. Gotta be large size toon. So you're already taking -1 ab and -1 ac just to equip it. Which sucks.

2. No Bludgeon (lance=pierce, Merc sword=slash)

3. Require exotic Weapon proficiency (feat cost)

4. Base damage is less than other exotic weapons (examples: bastard sword and scythe).

Proposal:

A. Add Huge weapon for bludgeoning (like a great club or something)

B. Increase base damage to at least scythe (2d8) or more than the scythe (for the above reasons regarding large size toons ab/ac). Maybe to 2d10.

How about increasing their 2h modifier from 40% to 45% ? They must be wielded 2h anyway after all, considering the ac and ab drop I'd like to think it's feasible. 

Edit: or be the masters of crit multiplier, having base 20x5 or 20x4.5.

This makes total sense to me. You have a massive greatsword that you swing at someone, and get lucky with the strike. That poor person is pretty much annihilated.
