How can I make a fighter wield 2 2-handers?

Right but isn't the warmace considered a one-handed weapon?

Without being able to check my books I am assuming that EWP-warmace allows a character to wield the weapon with one hand (like EWP - bastard sword) - but what is the weapon classified as? A 2 handed weapon or a one-handed weapon that requires 2 hands to use without the EWP (that is how the bastard sword is clasified)?

None of the other feats/items allow a character to treat a 2 handed weapon as a one handed one to the best of my knowledge. They only reduce the penalties for using an inappropriately sized weapon in its normal way.

No, you are 100% correct - but two huge warmaces is still pretty scary!

Thurbane:
I don't have MIC on me but if strong arm bracers work the same way as powerful build then it will not stack with something like monkey grip.

If the bracers made you into one size bigger then it would stack, but powerful build specificlly says you are still of the smaller catagory. Please stop thinking that with powerful build and monkey grip you get to use even bigger weapons. Both do thesame thing (hence they overlap) but with the bracers/powerful build you are not penalized at all while with mon key grip you still have -2.
So sorry to burst your bubble but you cannot use bracers and monkey grip to use huge weapons.

Ok, the OP was talking specifically about using 2 2H weapons. If it's size that matters to everyone, don't forget the rather ridiculous Greater Mighty Wallop spell (from Races of the Dragon, iirc). It's exactly like Greater Magic Weapon in all ways, including hour/level duration and level 3, except it a) only works on bludgeoning weapons and b) instead of enhancement bonus, gives the weapon an effective +1 size per 4 levels!

Really, this thread is making me want to create a Fighter/Mage type that uses Girallon's Blessing, Strong Arm Bracers, Greater Mighty Wallop, and Enlarge Person (and later on, the longer duration level 5 version) and then wades into melee.

All but Enlarge Person (until you can cast lvl 5 spells) can be done pre-battle, so you could always further buff with Haste and whatnot.

Again, Monkey Grip only applies to your main hand, not your off hand. From the feat text:
"You cannot wield a larger weapon in your off hand"

FWIW, if you're using Psionics, don't forget the Expansion power eventually gets you 2 size boosts.

It's the 51-point talent in the Fury tree.


...Wait, wrong game.

Oops - thanks for that, I must've always missed that stipulation.

You could always just make a size Large humanoid and use medium-sized two-handed weapons...
