I have a Goliath Ranger with Two-Weapon fighting. According to the rules, his second weapon would need to be a light weapon. As a Large creature, would he able to use a Martial weapon as his off-hand weapon?
Goliath is medium size unless yours a homebrew. And yes weapon like scimitar is martial light melee weapon it just need the light property it doesn't matter if it simple or martial
Thank you both. Sorry about the confusion about "light/martial". My interest was having him use a Battle Axe in each hand. I found you need to have the Dual Wielder Feat in order to use non-light weapons in two-weapon fighting. Thank you again.

Goliaths are medium, not large.
The two-weapon fighting rules require light melee weapons no matter how much carrying capacity or strength you have.
Whether a melee weapon has the light property is separate from whether it's martial or simple; there are light weapons in both categories.
