07-12-07, 12:36 PM I know that they don't stack. I tried explaining that to a friend of mine when telling him what I wanted a Goliath to be. I couldn't adequately express the reason why it doesn't stack, so If somebody could please explain it for me and my friend, I would really appreciate it. Please be as specific as you can.

07-12-07, 12:39 PM Goliaths are Medium. Monkey Grip lets you use weapons one size larger. One size larger than Medium is Large. Capise?

Q: I have a half-giant with the Monkey Grip feat...
A: No, sorry, Powerful Build and Monkey Grip provide the same benefit. They don't stack. Trade in the Huge greatsword for a Large one. (They would stack if Monkey Grip said "you may treat yourself as one size larger for the purposes of weilding weapons" or something similar. However, it doesn't, so they don't.)
