You're confused. A greatsword is actually a medium two-handed weapon. Monkey Grip allows a greatsword to be handled in one hand. In fact every weapon you see in Neverwinter Nights II is usually a small to medium weapon usable with one or two hands. Large weapons are simply the items you see here and there strewn about made for large characters. With monkey grip, you can't wield a large weapon in one hand, only a medium two-handed one. What you can do is wield said large weapon with two hands if it's a one-handed large weapon. You can't wield large two-handed weapons.

That's how it works, to make this all very explicitly clear.

And it doesn't make anything seem 'smaller' to the character, it allows them to wield weapons as if they were larger.

You're a bit confused too Someone without Monkey Grip can wield a large longsword with two-hands. The idea is that to wield something larger than your size you need two hands, which is why small races need two hands for a longsword. What you described "What you can do is wield said large weapon with two hands if it's a one-handed large weapon" is what anyone can do.

With Monkey Grip you treat the weapon as one size smaller/treat yourself as one size larger (pick whichever since it has the same effect on this ), so you wield a large longsword with one hand or a large greatsword with two hands, as you if yourself were a large creature

PS: I checked the feat before posting to make sure I wasn't confused

PS2: It also says that you treat a large light weapon as a regular light weapon, so with Monkey Grip you could wield a "large shortsword" with one hand and it would go along with Weapon Finesse :O

[snipedog]

dont forget it also allows a small character to use longbows as opposed to shortbows

Actually it doesn't Monkey Grip is for melee weapons only, or at least it should be. I dunno how it is on NWN2

All of D&D is wierd. Halflings needs small sized weapon, so if they try and use a longsword made for humans, they suffer a -2 penelty(or was it -4?) for wielding a "weapon not made for them, thus unbalanced". Halflings needs to use small sized longswords and small sized greatswords. This pretty much fucks up their itemisation in the game, and there'll never be any small sized drops unless the DM specifically intervenes to make it so.

As for monkeygrip, it simply lets you use a size categeroy largers weapon. So for example, a halfling with monkey grip could use human sized greatswords, but he still needs both his hands to hold it. A human can use an ogre's axe, and so forth.

Lol- it can work for bows? If it does...can you dual wield light crossbows as a crossbow totin' drow from down under?
