A nice reminder as to why I shouldn't bother wasting my time on this forum... a simple question that would have taken as much time to reply to as as make that statement... thanks for nothing.

That is why they don't stack.
On a side note, powerfull build lets you wield a large fullblade with the ex weapon pro feat. A large full blade is really a huge weapon that is designed to use by large creature with the right training. I think that is the only loop hole if you can get your DM to let you use the thing.

thought I read somewhere the fullblade was erratad to be large creature only. Is this correct, or was I mistaken?

It's comforting to know that I can disappear for a few months and when I come back, the questions haven't changed.

It's like Cheers.

Fullblade is a 3.0 weapon and not updated to 3.5 so if you wish to use one you will have to have your DM determine how it will exist in his game. From there you can determine how it will interact with Powerful Build or Monkey Grip.

With the new size cats on weapons each size cat would have a type of full blade.

I think it was updated some on the board if that helps. It is 3.0 but doesn't really take much to figure how it would work in 3.5. they would still need the DM to approve.

I haven't seen any update on it but that doesn't mean it hasn't been updated by wizards.

Took me a few min. to realize that you ment catagories up there. Made for an interesting sentance.

i imagined litle cats sitting on a weapon holding a sword. Then realized that isnt relavant, and decided cat has to be some abreviation.

QFT.

People still don't realize Powerful Build and Monkey Grip don't stack.

People still can't always find the Duskblade spell list.

People still debate which is better Sorcerer or Wizard.
