monkey grip help.

So if a goliath wields a goliath greathammer as a large weapon as allowed by powerful build. Does monkey greip allow him to wield a huge one with only a -2 or would you not be able to use powerful build and monkey grip.

So my question is if its possible. What are the penalties of a goliath with monkey grip taking. Also what damage does the g.g.h. go to?

Powerful Build and Monkey Grip do not stack.

Instead, Enlarge your Self or such and then apply either one. And in such case, no penalties and lots of damage.

Generally is better no not bother with Monkey Grip: with a simple Power Attack (and if you wanna fight with a 2 handed weapon you simply have Power Attack) you can take a -2 penalty to attack rolls and have the same damage anyways.

Basically Monkey Grip is a "can't turn off -2 Power Attack" that costs another feat slot.
