Large Sword questions....

Big scrunchy multi-post, for convenience' sake.

Whoah. That's scary stuff... I think I'll print this out and show him. Where do you find jovars again? I need to look that one up.

Planar Handbook. Exotic weapon, 500gp, base damage of 2d6, crit range of 18-20 x2, weighs 13 lbs., does slashing damage. Mostly found in Mount Celestia, but, of course, can be had anywhere, really.

Dang, can I get these half-mino and half-ogre templates from somewhere else?

Sadly, no. Dragon # 313 is the only place I've seen them, though they're quite sweet...especially since, as written, you get all the stat adjustments for gaining the size category, which stack with the template stat adjustments. And they're *still* a +1 LA, which means they're probably hideously undervalued.

Somehow, weilding two greatswords screams power gamer to me. Maybe it makes sense if you have four arms or something though, but thats just me.

When our Birthright campaign started, the ranger who was our primary tank used two greatswords, two-weapon style, with the old version of Monkey Grip. It was sort of cool, but not especially. The DM was allowing revisions at that point, so that got edited out later.

Thanks.
Well, allowing for the size stat adjustments... eeks. Sick. Even if you don't give any additional stat boosters, it's pretty strong.

I tried that, too, as a 3rd level fighter. And with two mercurial greatswords.

Didn't hit a thing.

If you get Perfect Two Weapon Fighting (In the Epic Level Handbook, but not an epic feat itself) your chances of hitting are VASTLY increased. I think you get absolutely no negatives in either hand, so long as you have ambidexterity, two weapon fighting, greater two weapon fighting, improved two weapon fighting, superior two weapon fighting, and perfect two weapon fighting. Throw in monkey grip and multiweapoin rend, and you've got it made. Technically this shouldn't be able to be done until high levels... but it SHOULD be able to be done...
