titan fighter questions

Giant Weapon Wielder (Ex)

At 1st level, a titan fighter can wield two-handed melee weapons intended for creatures one size category larger than himself, treating them as two-handed weapons. He takes an additional –2 penalty on attack rolls when using an over-sized two-handed weapon.

meteor hammer is a dual weapon when using it in "Meteor: In meteor mode you use it as a double weapon." so i would need two-weapon fighting to get it two -2 and oversized weapons are a -2 and he would also get another -2? so all together a -6? also spending a feat to know how to use it.

[Chess Pwn]

Sounds right. -4 for oversized, -2 for twf.

[zainale]

normally you get a -2 for using a oversized weapon. why does the titan fighter who is suppose to be using oversized weapons gets an extra -2?

[Chess Pwn]

because he's using a large THW which normally isn't allowed. This archetype lets you break that rule by giving you an additional -2.

Usually it's really not worth it to do this. attack bonuses are about equal to 2 damage. So taking a -4 better give you about 8 damage, else it's a bad deal. And since using a large weapon nets you about +1 damage per hit, that's a really bad trade.

[zainale]

so he would get a +2 to two-weapon fighting with a large meteor hammer and +4 to to use it as a reach weapon as a third lvl fighter (titan fighter). i did not even think about added dmg that a large weapon might give.
a large masterwork meteor hammer does 2d6, +6 dmg because of str (+1 to hit). what am i missing?

[Chess Pwn]

so str 18 fighter lv3 with masterwork = +8 to hit.
now since you're lv3 the oversized penalties are reduced by 1.

reach mode = +5 for 2d6+6 damage
TWF mode = +3 for 2d6+4 and +2 for 2d6+2

using normal fighter
reach mode = +8 for 1d8+6
TWF mode = +6 for 1d8+4 and +6 for 1d8+2

average damage for 2d6 = 7 and average damage for 1d8 = 4.5

[zainale]

+1 masterwork +1 weapon focus -4 large weapon (-6 for large weapon + twf) +1 incredible heft +7 bab.

Is there a pathfinder equivalent of D&D's old monkey grip?

i will have to sift through the feats.

No.

[zainale]

darn

[zainale]

what is the reach of a large reach weapon?in reference to the meteor hammer.

[Johnnycat93]

A large weapon wielded by a medium creature does not gain reach if it did not already have it, I believe.

[Chess Pwn]

yup, if you wield a large reach weapon as a medium creature you have 10ft reach. A large two-handed is 5ft reach. and technically a small longspear is also 10ft reach I believe.

[zainale]

but the titan fighter can use a large weapon. meteor hammer is a reach weapon and a dual weapon just depends on how you use it.

I'm sorry, what are you trying to say? No one said it wasn't.
