With this homebrew totem at lvl 3 would this enable me to do two weapon fighting with 2 longswords?
"Monkey. While you're raging you can treat a versatile weapon wielded with one hand as if it was wielded two handed. The spirit of the monkey gives you a sure grip"
It's just that I have acquired two really nice black longswords and it would look cool!
That's what I was thinking, but wanted to check with greater powers lol It's for my sons homebrew campaign and purely and simply to mess with one of his friends, I already wear the skins of three monkeys. Made a lovely glove and hat set lol
First of all, you need a gorilla vest to complete the outfit.
Second of all, you can already wield two longswords. However, letting you wield it one-handed while still benefitting from the high damage die sounds a bit powergame-y and there's really no reason for that. Just go with the feat and swing away! :)
Yeah I think I will stick with the monkey totem and have been chatting with my son about customising my weapons and my monkey gloves. Combining the two so the blade from my son becomes my monkey gloves claws, but still do the same damage as the sword whilst looking like monkey paws! And multiclassing into artificer for the fun of it, steel defender monkey style lol
Because I don't want to walk all over him and I know he will probably say yes to it (because he has let me do so much already lol) what would be a good way for him as DM to let me do what I want, but with a chance of failure that could possibly stop me from doing it?
Since you will be foregoing the normal level 3 barbarian abilities (many of which are very nice), I think it would be fine to ask for the Dual Wielder feat instead.
And then just re-skin the longswords as claws.

You can do two-weapon fighting with two longswords by taking the Dual Wielder feat:

So if you'd like to incorporate this feat into the totem, I would copy the verbiage of the feat.
You can wield two, just not use two weapon fighting with them, unless of course, dual wielder was incorporated into the mix.
