    It's only a one-hand weapon if you have Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Bastard Sword. If you just have Martial Weapon Proficiency, you have to use it two handed.

    That help?

    That's unusual.

    Have you installed any other mods? I run official patch 2.0 and Co8 patch 3.0.1 and my fighter has no trouble using it one handed. He had a shield until second level, now he dual weilds with a light mace. If worse comes to worse, rename your current ToEE folder and try reinstalling ToEE, adding the official patches and then the Co8 patch.

    Also, have you started a new game since installing the patches? I know some issues can arise when using a game started in an earlier patch. Also, are yolu sure it's a bastard sword? I would assume so, but the inventory icons for bastard and greatswords are very similar. I've made the mistake of seling off my new MW bastard sword instead of a greatsword because of that before :)

    There are a few things here. As miserychick stated, you must have Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Bastard Sword.
    Weapon Focus: Bastard Sword can be selected without its proficiency but that will not enable you to wield it one-handed.

    I have searched protos.tab and come up with 6 blades:
    {4015}{Bastard sword}
    {4016}{Scather}
    {4017}{Fragarach}
    {4034}{Katana}
    {4035}{Masterwork katana}
    {4157}{Masterwork bastard sword}

    There are no problems with {4015}{Bastard sword},
    {4017}{Fragarach} and {4157}{Masterwork bastard sword}
    so I assume you are talking about one of the other 3 blades.

    {4016}{Scather} was changed in the 1st official patch to be a bastard sword instead of a Greatsword, however they did not change Col24 (which is size_large for Scather). Since all size_large weapons need to be wielded with 2 hands, this effectively overrules the advantage granted by Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Bastard Sword. The damage for this weapon was also not corrected from 2d6 to 1d10 (it should not be more powerful than Fragarach).

    As for {4034}{Katana} and {4035}{Masterwork katana}, these were changed during an early Co8 mod pack (v1.1 if I'm not mistaken) to be bastard swords instead of longswords.
    They suffer from the same problem: both were coded as size_large.

    I have retested all blades by coding all of them as size_medium and all of them can now be wielded 1-handed provided the character has Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Bastard Sword


    Summary:
    For:
    {4016}{Scather}
    {4034}{Katana}
    {4035}{Masterwork katana}
    change Col24 from size_large to size_medium

    For:
    {4016}{Scather}
    change Col70 from 2d6 to 1d10
