Extended Reach: When wielding a battle axe or greataxe, a firbolg may extend his reach by 5 feet until the end of his round. Doing so gives him a -2 penalty to AC until the beginning of his next turn.

Too Big: Because you are bigger than most of your kind, which are already large to begin with, you count as large sized in regards to the trip, bull rush and drag combat maneuvers. This grants you a +1 size bonus to your CMB and CMD in regards to this maneuvers and determines what size creatures you can use them against and what sized creatures can use them against you.

Powerfully Built: Your hands and muscles are larger than a normal medium creature. When wielding a large sized weapon, you don't take the -2 penalty for it being inappropriately sized. All other restrictions on inappropriately sized weapons still apply.
