If it is does that mean you add 1.5 your STR mod? Also, lets say I took two-weapon fighting, and monkey grip, AND I had powerful build or was just plain Large. does that mean I could wield two whips whos Size cat is two sizes bigger... Also what special ability would be best for this.. besides like knockback.

You can weild them in one hand, or you can weild them in two(gaining 1.5 times your str mod as well as all the other benefits of weilding any one handed weapon iin two hands). Alternately, you can weild two(doing normal str and 1/2 str, respectively, for primary and offhand), but you take all associated penalties with weilding two weapons. Monkey Grip DOES NOT stack in any way with Powerful Build, nor do the benefits of Monkey Grip apply to your offhand. Monkey Grip's effect's would, however, stack with a spell or effect (such as Enlarge) that actually increased your base size.

Edit I could add balanced for bigger whips for more reach and damage also...
