Does Jotungrip allow me to wield a Greatsword in a grapple?

[Nefreet]

The other day my Titan Mauler was grappled, and rather than escape I decided to attack...

...with my Greatsword...

...one-handed.

I wasn't sure if I could, and everyone stared at the ceiling for a bit before we decided, "Sure!".

Seems kosher, but I wanted to see what others thought.

If you are grappled: "Instead of attempting to break or reverse the grapple, you can take any action that doesn't require two hands to perform, such as cast a spell or make an attack or full attack with a light or one-handed weapon against any creature within your reach, including the creature that is grappling you."

Jotungrip: "At 2nd level, a titan mauler may choose to wield a two-handed weapon in one hand with a -2 penalty on attack rolls while doing so. The weapon must be appropriately sized for her, and it is treated as one-handed when determining the effect of Power Attack, Strength bonus to damage, and the like. This ability replaces uncanny dodge."

A one-handed weapon is a one-handed weapon.
It says pretty clearly in the description for Jotungrip that it lets you wield it as a one-handed weapon, so I see no reason you couldn't do so during a grapple (the final clause on the ability supports that as well.

Good call, I think. :)

Thanks guys!

I've actually seen a barbarian built to do this intentionally... kind of ridiculous and awesome. :P

I'd draw the opposite interpretation that MikeMyler did, from reading exactly the same rules. The greatsword doesn't become a one-handed weapon; you're merely treating a two-handed weapon as a one-handed weapon. Get in a grapple and you're trying to wield a weapon that doesn't qualify for use in a grapple. The fact that you can wield an oversized weapon doesn't help when the opponent is inside your reach.

Not to say that I can't understand the opposing point of view. A more generous reading of the feat's ability to override standard rules would certainly be more popular. I think this one falls into "whatever your GM ruled is right... as long as he/she is consistent about that ruling."
