Dec 23, 2010 10:43:37 I can't remember fully as it's been ages since I've looked in a 3.5 book, but I remember a feat that allows you to wield two handed weapons as if they were one handed. I think that feat was called Monkey Grip or something.

Think it'll rear it's head in 4E? Probably would be an epic tier feat requiring a lot of STR and possibly DEX as well.

If it were to happen, I could see every single melee ranger in the world picking up weapon prof. Fullblade/Executioner's Axe/Mordenkrad/etc.

Probably OP. What do you think?

It also favors heavily one-handed or two-weapon fighters because there's no option for the two-handed weapon wielder to use it.

It's basically about as interesting as Weapon Focus and somewhat stronger and doesn't work if you like very large weapons (ironic, considering what it's meant to do)
