Does the feat Oversized Two-Weapon Fighting (from Complete Adventurer) stack with the epic feat Wield Oversized Weapon (from the D&D website)? That is, if you had both, could a medium-sized character wield a large weapon in their off-hand without penalty?

My inclination is to say no, but I'm not sure. Anyone know?

Both feats are clear.

Oversized TWF is clear, it just lets you use a ONE HANDED weapon in your off hand. It does not affect weapon size.

Wield Oversized Weapon however deals with the weapon size, not the 'class'. And unlike Monkey Grip it lets you do it in your off hand.

It appears I'm misunderstanding something here. Aren't light weapons one size category smaller than one-handed weapons?

08-24-07, 09:07 PM Light weapons are things like Daggers, Short Swords, Kukri, that can be wielded in your off hand and lessen the penalties of two weapon fighting. By taking Oversized 2WF, you can use a one handed weapon with that same reduced penalty.
