Maul - 2H or 1HC Weapon Focus with monkey grip

Post by legionetrangere » Sun Dec 11, 2022 2:10 pm

Howdy

If I take Weapon Focus One Handed Concussion using Maul + Shield (monkey grip) will I get the WF bonuses? Or should I take the 2-handed weapon focus?

I'm searching for the most optimal way to use Maul + Shield

You need 2h weapon focus for maul. Weapon foci are static. They don't change regarding your size or how you use weapons.

Yes, you can use 1H Concussion. Maul falls into it regardless if you want to two-hand it or one-hand it with monkey grip.

This was intentionally done to offer bludgeoning weapons, which are arguably worse because of their low-crit range, more visibility and usage.
