Well. It is 50% heavier than a medium greatsword (12lbs vs 8lbs). We can assume that the size is proportional, meaning about 15% longer, wider and thicker. Or we can assume that it's same thickness, a bit (1/8) wider, and a more (1/3) longer.
A medium character can use a medium basw one-handed with Str 13+
The same character enlarged would have Str 15+ and could wield a large basw one-handed.
A medium character can use a large one-handed weapon two-handed, with -2 penalty.
Thus, medium characters can use a large basw two-handed if they fulfil the following criteria:
- they could use a medium basw one-handed (exotic weapon prof)
- they have Str 15+
- even then, they apply -2 penalty for inappropriately sized weapon.
Lacking EWP you could still use it with a total of -6 penalty but lacking Str... no. You simply cannot hold that beast straight.
