Cormyr and the Dalelands

3.5e feat for using large weapons such as greatswords, great axes and the like as melee weapons. Thematically speaking there are quite a few large characters on the server who would look great and seem far more imposing if they were wielding a towershield and a twohanded weapon in 1 hand instead of two. Not to mention it would add further customization for the martial classes. Me and a few of my group would love to see this and i feel like a few others would probably enjoy it. Not sure how easy it will be to implement. I know that NWN 2 made use of this feat but i don't know if they used the same engine for the game.



Monkey Grip

( Complete Warrior, p. 103)



[General]



You are able to use a larger weapon than other people your size.



Prerequisite

Base attack bonus +1,



Required for

Wield Oversized Weapon (CW) ,



Benefit

You can use melee weapons one size category larger than you are with a -2 penalty on the attack roll, but the amount of effort it takes you to use the weapon does not change. For instance, a Large longsword (a one-handed weapon for a Large creature) is considered a two-handed weapon for a Medium creature that does not have this feat. For a Medium creature that has this feat, it is still considered a one-handed weapon. You can wield a larger light weapon as a light weapon, or a larger two-handed weapon in two hands. You cannot wield a larger weapon in your off hand, and you cannot use this feat with a double weapon.



Normal

You can use a melee weapon one size category larger than you are with a -2 penalty on the attack roll, and the amount of effort it takes to use the weapon increases. A larger light weapon is considered a one-handed weapon, a larger one-handed weapon is considered a two-handed weapon, and you cannot use a larger two-handed weapon at all.

Unfortunately Monkey Grip is not possible to implement in NWN1.

Big sad. but understandable. 

I remember when NWN2 came out one of the things most of us were most excited for was Monkey Grip...

Then NWN2 was terrible.

Good times.

The first NWN2 build I made was a monkey grip greatsworder, heh. :D

Me too!  xD  It was such an exciting time.

Every now and then I'll try to revisit NWN just for the SP stuff and even with that, I just can't.  Game is so strange.

Pff. Boring. Dual-Wielding Scythes.

Dream even bigger!

Dual-weild two-bladed swords!  

Feat specifically states this is not possible otherwise it would be hysterical to turn into a blade tornado
