[QUOTE="benosmash, post: 4613739, member: 54662"] Oversized Two-Weapon fighting allows you to use a one-handed weapon in your off hand at no penalty. Monkey grip allows you to wield any weapon one size larger than you are for a -2 penalty. The first feat allows you to wield, for instance two longswords with the regular -2/-2 penalty. The second feat allows you to increase the size of the weapon you wield by one step for a -2 penalty on all attacks. Monkey grip specifically states that you can wield a larger light weapon as a light weapon or a larger one-handed weapon as a one-handed weapon. Since I'm not wielding a larger greatsword, but merely a larger longsword in each hand (which happen to have the same stats as a greatsword) this combination should work. But at a -4/-4 penalty. Page 114 of the PHB shows you the progression of damage dice for size. If you look at the damage for a medium long sword (1d8) and then look at the damage for a large longsword(2d6), you will see that it matches the damage of a greatsword(2d6). Crit range/mod and damage type also match. I don't see where any house ruling would need to come into play. As a fighter, in order to wield this combination I would have to sacrifice four levels of advancement in attack bonuses in order to wield this combination. Since that advancement is pretty much what a fighter is, I don't think it's so broken. [/QUOTE]
