Two-Weapon Feats?

The Monkey Grip feat provides a similar effect, allowing you to wield a weapon that is one size larger in each hand. For example, a medium creature monkey gripping two scimitars will be quite similar to two medium sized falchions.

No, it doesn't - as mentioned at least twice in the thread, it allows you to wield a weapon one size larger in your primary hand, and explicitly does not allow you to wield a weapon one size larger in your off-hand.

Does anyone happen to know if there is a feat somewhere out there that allows you to wield a two-handed weapon (say a greatsword or a falchion) in one hand. I have a player that is trying to build a character that can go two-weapon fighting with a falchion in either hand, and I'm not sure if it's even possible.

Also, there is a Great Scimitar from the Sandstorm book. While not a Falchion, the damage is 1d8, 18-20 x2 crit, so it's similar. It's like the Bastard Sword, martial as 2H, exotic as 1H, so they'd still be taking EWP plus TWF and Oversized TWF in order to have a reasonable chance to hit something.
 

Monkey Grip would let you wield the Greatsword in your primary hand - but you still have to be using a "light" or "one handed" weapon in the off hand.

Now, if your "character" was an Ettin with Monkey grip... you would have two "primary" hands. I should however, be saying characters... but that is beside the point.

Otherwise - you need the Epic feat previously mentioned.

If you're a Medium character, Monkey Grip will have no effect on a Medium greatsword.

The benefit of the feat applies to weapons designed for a creature one size category larger than you. For a Medium creature, it affects a Large dagger, a Large shortsword, a Large longsword, a Large greatsword; it has no effect on a Huge battleaxe or a Medium greatsword or a Small longspear.

Now, if your "character" was an Ettin with Monkey grip... you would have two "primary" hands.

Debatable; Superior Two Weapon Fighting means the ettin does not take a penalty on attack or damage rolls for attacking with two weapons, but it doesn't prevent him having an off-hand.
