Re: Holding 2H weapons one-handed
You can't wield a two-handed weapon one-handed; Monkey Grip merely makes you able to use larger weapons without increasing their handedness. It does nothing to correctly sized weapons. You could pick a two-hander of smaller-than-your size wielding it one-handed, but it'd just be equivalent to a normal, smaller weapon and you'd be taking -2 penalty for wielding miss-sized weapons.
Strongarm Bracers [MiC] with DM handwaving would work.Last edited by Eldariel; 2010-05-25 at 01:56 PM.

Re: Holding 2H weapons one-handed
And dropping 2 perfectly good feats on Monkey Grip and Weapon Focus will not make you a good fighter. Martial Study and Arcane Strike might help. Heck, even Dodge and Improved Toughness would be better.
And if you are holding a weapon in 1 hand, and a (non-buckler) shield in the other, you can't cast. Eldariel omitted another benefit of two-handing. You can take a hand off your weapon as a free action, cast, and put your hand back on your weapon as a free action.

Re: Holding 2H weapons one-handed
Martial Study is a feat from Tome of Battle. It gives you a maneuver that you can use once per battle (if you aren't a ToB class).
Shield is a first level spell in PHB. +4 AC 1 min/level. Even better if you enter Abjurant Champion (PRC in complete mage).

Re: Holding 2H weapons one-handed
Sort of "martial spells". Read the Tome of Battle introduction for more information. All maneuvers are available here.
