06-13-07, 05:55 PM A friend of mine says that there is a power attack version that allows you to use up to 10 bab. I can not find the feat any where I have looked in all my books and nada. Is there anything out there like an improved power attack feat.

Next I remember a weapon upgrade that allowed you to use a weapon 1 size category larger than your character. A med. creature could use a large weapon it was called Balanced, what book is this in. I can not find it either.

thanks in advance

06-13-07, 06:07 PM Power Attack already lets you use as much BAB as you want. There's no limit, except until you run out of BAB. If you have a +19 BAB, then you can Power Attack for up to +19 extra damage (+38 if you use a two-handed weapon).

06-13-07, 06:19 PM Power Attack has no limits. There is an improved power attack, but it does something else.

"Balanced" was an old weapon property from version 3.0, which allowed you to use a larger sized weapon than normal at no penalty. Presumably because it was overpowered, it was not brought into version 3.5.
Note: There is a new weapon property called "Balance" but that adds a bonus to Balance skill checks.

The feat Monkey Grip allows you to use a weapon that is one size category than normal in the same number of hands that a normal size (for you) would take, but all attacks take a -2 penalty.

Monkey Grip is a feat for people who are bad at math.

There's a chance your friend is talking about Neverwinter Nights, where Power Attack was an automatic -5 and you needed Improved Power Attack to get -10. There might have been a NWN2 feat called Balanced that did what you wanted, but I never played NWN2.
