Monkey grip 3.5
In the PHB it says :
Isn't this essentiale the same ?
So a medium creature, can in both ways, wield a Large greatsword for 2d8 damage, with a -2 penalty... So the feat is kinda useles.. Or am I misinterpreting this?

Complete Warrior (3.5 version of the feat)
Allows you to wield a "larger" weapon as if it were appropriately sized but you still suffer the incorrect size penalty (i.e a -2 on attacks) and you can[t use it for your off hand.
In the PHB it says :
Inappropriately Sized Weapons
A creature can’t make optimum use of a weapon that isn’t properly sized for it. A cumulative -2 penalty applies on attack rolls for each size category of difference between the size of its intended wielder and the size of its actual wielder. If the creature isn’t proficient with the weapon a -4 nonproficiency penalty also applies.
The measure of how much effort it takes to use a weapon (whether the weapon is designated as a light, one-handed, or two-handed weapon for a particular wielder) is altered by one step for each size category of difference between the wielder’s size and the size of the creature for which the weapon was designed. If a weapon’s designation would be changed to something other than light, one-handed, or two-handed by this alteration, the creature can’t wield the weapon at all.
