1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.

The bastard estoc is basically a hand-and-a-half version of the estoc and excels at long poking attacks. As a standard action you can make a single attack with an additional +5 foot reach. This does not change the squares you threaten.

You can use the Weapon Finesse feat to apply your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to attack rolls with an great estoc sized for you, even though it isn’t a light weapon for you.

A bastard estoc is too large to use in one hand without special training; thus, it is an exotic weapon. A character can use a bastard estoc with two hands as a martial weapon.
