![]() ![]() ![]() While the language remained just as strikingly beautiful, the story changed dramatically under older, warier. That was the case when I picked up Monkey Grip, 20 years after first read and adored it while I was at university in Carlton. Sometimes, re-reading a beloved book can be a mean shock. A Medium creature could wield a Huge Sunblade with -4 to attack as a 2-h weapon. 20 years later, Monkey Grip is not what it seemed. ![]() This means that a Sunblade one size too big would be wielded as a one-handed weapon and one two sizes too big would work as a two-hander. The Shortsword is a light weapon so you can wield the Sunblade as if it were a light weapon (taking reduced penalties to TWF, wield it in only one hand, whatever). Lastly, the Sunblade is a Bastard Sword that spoofs a Shortsword insofar as handling goes. That scales up to a 2-h weapon if it's one size too big. Released in 1977 it was Helen Garner’s first novel and the first time Australians had read such a frank account of communal living. Other options include feats like Thunder & Fang and Quarterstaff Master which allow you to treat a specific type of weapon (Earthbreaker and Quarterstaff, respectively), as a 1-h weapon. Monkey Grip ushered in a new voice in Australian Literature. Ergo, the Tiefling can wield a Large two-hander just fine. But the Redcap's ability, otherwise, works the same exact way and it's pre-equipped with a Medium Scythe. The Tiefling alternate trait is worded, functionally, the same as the Redcap special ability the only difference is the Redcap is a Small Fey so it references Medium weapons while the Tiefling trait references Large weapons. ![]()
