Feat to Use Oversized Weapons?

[AnthonyRoberson]

Can anyone tell me if there is a feat to allow a character to use a weapon that is the 'wrong' size? If so, can you tell me what source it is from? Thanks!

Monkey Grip, from Complete Warrior. You suffer a -2 penalty to attacks while doing so though.

or, at high levels, the epic feat Use Oversized Weapon. Also from CW.

Killer. Thanks.

Or for other chars, the spell Enlarge Weapon.

Monkey Grip actually isn't so very killer, unless you're already playing games with your size to get some serious size-bonus synergy going. Then it's just plain badass

Monkey Grip + Enlarge Person + Enlarge Weapon... ?

Throw in some psionics, start out as a Goliath, and you're on the right track. Yes, badass.

Of course, at some point it becomes excessive, then it's just silly.

As a DM, I'd stop that probably before the weapon starts to be bigger than the monster you're trying to kill

"Sorry, you can't enter the hall. Your weapon is too big, it doesn't fit through the portal."

I've done that with just plain Monkey Grip. Yup, you have a big sword, but it requires a good deal of space to use, it's very memorable, and basically unique - don't plan on finding lots of magical large bastard swords just laying around unless you happen to be fighting a lot of giants.
