Largest weapons possible with TWF?

[domino]

I'm just curious. Oversized TWF would allow a medium character to fight with two longswords. Would Monkey Grip on top of that allow a medium character to TWF with large longswords (greatswords)? What else would there be? Anything else that might make things even sillier?

Monkey Grip would allow a Medium character to fight with a Large longsword and a Medium longsword; the feat explicitly cannot be used with an off-hand weapon.

Note that Oversized TWF (or even TWF) is not a requirement; these feats do not make something possible (as Monkey Grip does), but rather mitigate a penalty for doing something you could already do anyway.

The Wield Oversized Weapon Epic feat is what you're after for true silliness.

Alternatively, it's theoretically possible for a Medium creature to wield two Large Sunblades, since they are treated as a Large shortsword (a light weapon, thus a one-handed weapon for a Medium creature) for ease of use.

A Huge and Large bastard sword at -4/-2 (3d8/2d8)

If you used Warmaces instead, you'd take a -2 AC penalty, but you could get a 4d6/3d6 damage going on.

Monkey Grip applies to weapons one size category larger than you. A Goliath is Medium; Monkey Grip applies to Large weapons.

Powerful Build lets you wield weapons one size category larger than you without penalty. A Goliath is Medium; Powerful Build applies to Large weapons.

Neither ability applies to weapons two sizes larger than you; a Goliath cannot wield a Huge weapon unless it is Light (in which case he treats is as a two-handed weapon with a -4 penalty, just as a human or dwarf without Monkey Grip would).

I a Shackled City campaign, I use to play a dwarven fighter [Two-Weapon Fighting, Monkey Grip, Oversized Two-Weapon Fighting, Axe Focus from Races of Stone: Dwarven Fighter Substitution Level] who wields two dwarven waraxes - one of appropriate size and another one for a Large creature, doing 1d10 and 2d8.

It's fun
Enjoy!
