Hey...according to this Goliaths are medium sized creatures, but with regard to attacks like Grappling, bull rushing, weapon sizes etc they are considered Large size if it is benefitcial for them to be so.

yeah, they can use Huge weapons 2 handed or 1 handed with Monkey Grip...like I said, a two-handed sword wielder doing 3d6+10+power attack = nasty shizznit.

Okay...so a battle axe at medium size does 1d8, then according to this table at large size it would be 2d6...then at huge size it would be...3d6. In accordance with page 28 of the DMG.
I'm probably going to go sword and board just to make things a bit easier...

I think the large battleaxe does 1d12X3 (it's the same as a greataxe)

Eh...I'm not to worried...we will figure something out...my sheet is as done as it can be...with only one question.
I have a LA of +1 and 2 fighter levels total of 3 levels. Am I correct in saying I have Three feats?
One for level 1 that all characters get. Fighter Bonus feat at level 1, Fighter bonus feat at level 2.
Or do I have Four feats because I am a 3rd level character overall? I've never gotten this, it would be nice to know the answer to it actually.

yeah, the Huge greatsword or club are awesome...the club is especially vicious when you cast Brambles and such on it, while the greatsword has a better crit range and Keen. Huge weapons are great except remember use-able space and that a weapon not normally used as a thrusting weapon has serious minuses and dmg reduction.
Bill, please play something that entertains you. I am more than happy to let you play whatever entertains you...
As for your question Denny, yes. Use the Monk orders in the Campaign Setting. I think Monks should multiclass unless they are cloistered. The feat that Bill is referring to is the Aesthetic Monk (CompAdv) I believe. When combined into the Enlightened Fist PrC and coupled with some nasty feats like Touch of Golden Ice (BoED), and the Sanctified Strike chain, makes for a truly badass Monk. Touch of Golden Ice is ridiculous at lower levels; its like a righteous energy drain...just nasty. A Monk2/FTR4/Sorcerer* is simply a badass class-combo since you end up with sweet martial feats, advanced unarmed attacks, weapon specialization, and buffing spells/ sick touch attacks.
I also normally go for the Elusive Target tactical feat since you end up being a badass Trip monkey for free while blasting hoes with Stunning Attacks and Golden Ice which destroys them so fast... Check out Complete Adventurers for awesome Sorcerer/Druid/Monk combos. The ability to Rage, sprint Charge, then full attack with a Flurry of Blows that tear apart their CON, and natural attacks which Druids have ample of make for tough characters.

one of the funnest chars I have ever played was a halfling Barbarian..
Nothing says Lovin like a two foot tall frothing at the mouth Badass that has a problem keeping the skull, of the minataur he just killed, on top of his head.
