So, I'm working on an NPC concept, the idea being a Goliath (Named Sir Tavish the Immense) who wields the biggest Goliath Greathammer I can put in his grubby little paws.
Now, my origional plan was to have him wield a large-sized Greathammer (from his Powerful Build) then start encounters by being hit by an Enlarge Person/Chugging a potion of such. I briefly considered Monkey Grip to give him an even bigger hammer, but then I remembered that monkey grip and powerful build do not stack.
And then, I read the Goliath Barbarian Racial substitution level, which replaces normal Rage with something called mountain Rage, which increases the Goliath's size to large (It negates Powerful Build for the duration) and boosts it's strength.
So my thought was, would Monkey Grip work for a Mount Raged goliath? Could I have Sir Tavish Enlarge, Mountain Rage, and Monkey Grip to wield a Gargantuan Greathammer that he smashes down with for 6d6 damage? If the rules allow it, would it be cruel to use such a trick on my players? If he's not raging, can he use his hammer?
Edit: I checked, Enlarge person does not stack with other Magical affects that increase size. Mountain Rage is Extraordinary, so it stacks.
