I'm considering a character who believes in the concept that bigger is always better (for it is Orky). The idea is to have him TWF with 2 Large Falcatas (Choppas) (arguably the highest DPR weapon in the game capable of being used by a medium character). While this is a horrible idea mechanically, the character doesn't know any better.
First, I need to know how all the penalties stack. Assuming that the character will have the TWF feat, he will have a -4/-4 penalty to main hand and off-hand, due to the off-hand weapon not being a light weapon. There's also the fact that weapons are inappropriately-sized, giving yet another -2 penalty on attacks. Then stack on the jotungrip penalty for wielding two-handed weapons (which all large one-handed weapons are considered for medium characters), which is another -2. This should total to a -8 on all attack rolls. This is correct, yes?
Anyone have any optimal ways of going about this to get my bonus to attack rolls up as quickly as possible? Assume that the character MUST be a half-orc and MUST TWF with LARGE one-handed weapons.
Thanks for any help and advice!
You cannot use Large weapons using Jotungrip.
Titan Mauler: Does the Jotungrip class feature (page 30) allow the Titan Mauler to use oversized weapons?
No. Jotungrip allows the titan mauler to use two-handed melee weapons in one hand, but only if the weapon is appropriately sized for the character. The massive weapon class feature allows her to use oversized weapons with decreased penalty, but does not allow her to use two-handed weapons of that size in one hand.Update Page 30, in the titan mauler archetype, in the Jotungrip class feature, in the first sentence, insert the word "melee" between "two-handed" and "weapon."

Thus: using jotungrip with a medium sized 2handed weapon your penalties should be -6 (-4/-4 and -2 for Jotungrip).

Two falchions or a large-sized falcata might work and still fit the theme. A single large weapon would reduce the penalty and feats needed. Two falchions would have higher penalties but would make getting criticals much easier, and realistically, when this guy crits, death occurs.

I don't know if this is optimized, but it got me to thinking...
Barbarian 1 (Titan Mauler)
Cleric 1 (Crusader) Deity Lamashtu
Monk 1 (Martial Artist)
Barbarian 2 (Titan Mauler
At 4th level with the Crusader's Flurry feat, you're able to Flurry of Blows as a 2nd level monk while dual wielding Falchions.
Let's assume a +4 STR
4th level barbarian without raging...one attack at +8 at 2d4+6
4th level monk...Flurry with unarmed strikes at +6/+6 at 1d8+4 and 1d8+4
This guy...Flurry with 2 Falchions +3/+3 at 2d4+4 and 2d4+4
I hid Weapon Focus in there too, since it's part of the requirements. At 5th level monk, (8th total), he gains immunity to fatigue. He also has access to cleric spells, so he can wand-monkey too.
