Monkey Grip/feat

Type of feat: General

Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +3, Strength 13+

Required for: None

Specifics: A character with this feat can do the following: Equip a weapon that is one size larger than the wielder with a shield at a -2 AB penalty Dual-wield two weapons of the same-size as the wielder with only the same dual-wield penalty as dual-wielding a weapon of the same-size as the wielder and a light weapon Equip a ranged weapon that is two sizes larger than the wielder Small-sized characters can equip Tower Shields at a -1 AC penalty (Can't do both 2H and Tower Shield for Small) Tiny-sized characters can equip Large Shields at a -1 AC penalty (Can't do both 2H and Large Shield for Tiny) A penalty to physical damage is applied which is equal to half your STR mod rounded down. This is done to negate the two-handed bonus which is still applied when single handing a 2H weapon. The reduction uses a calculation that scales with character level. For every 5 levels it assumes +1 additional soft STR modifier for every 5 levels. This means at level 30 it is assumed a character (with +14 str mod) is at their maximum STR modifier, resulting in a max of a -7 penalty.

Use: Automatic
