Unwieldy (Quality)

An unwieldy weapon requires a great deal of space to properly use. If any adjacent square is considered blocked you cannot use the weapon, and if any square within ten feet of the wielder is considered blocked you have –4 to hit. A space is considered blocked if there is a permanent object which takes up enough of the square that movement is not allowed into it. Typically this is a wall or pillar, but statues or other map features may constitute a blocked space. Creatures or low terrain elements like tables or stairs do not cause a space to be treated as blocked.
