Heavy weapons

Heavy weapons, such as those made from gold or platinum,

are unwieldy but inflict additional damage. Without

instance, heavy longsword), you suffer a –4 penalty on

attack rolls with a heavy weapon. Only weapons made entirely

or largely of metal (such as swords or axes) are affected;

other weapons (such as spears) are not.

A character can wield a heavy weapon one size category

smaller than his own in two hands to avoid the

attack penalty. For instance, a human swinging a light

mace made of gold with both hands, or an ogre wielding

a platinum longsword with two hands, does not suffer

the attack penalty.

You can never use the Weapon Finesse feat with a

weapon made of a heavy metal.

Weapons made of a heavy metal inflict increased

damage.
