Monkey grip and colossal weapons - medium race not able to equip

Post by -Dark-Sith- » Sat Feb 17, 2024 12:07 pm

Description of Bug Experienced:
The monkey grip feat should allow a character to be considered one size larger, thus, medium sized races should be allowed to wield colossal weapons which can normally only be wielded by large races, yet this is not the case. Have with an aquatic elf with the monkey grip feat forged a bronze colossal spear in the Surface server, and was unable to equip this despite martial proficiency and 20+ levels. Transferred character and tested on the PGCC and all weapons (colossal spear, hammer, axe, and sword) could not be wielded, tried other variants beyond bronze including damask with the same result.

Steps to reproduce the Bug:

  • Create character aquatic elf (barbarian) and level up as needed
  • Select monkey grip feat
  • Create colossal weapons through forging

Expected Result:

  • Ability to equip colossal weapon

Actual Result:

  • Not able to equip (border around the background of the weapon is red)

The wiki doesn't mention that medium-sized characters can equip colossal weapons, so, for now, this is working as intended:

Code: Select all

Monkey Grip:
- Prerequisite: BAB +3, Strength 13+
- A character with this feat is considered one size larger when it comes to wielding weapons and 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)
