|prereqs=BAB +10, Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization for a weapon that can be used to [[SRD:Grapple|grapple]] creatures, Improved Grapple, Str 20
|fluff=<!-- Any non-mechanical flavor you want to show -->
|benefit=While grappling a creature with a weapon (including a natural weapon), [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GrievousHarmWithABody you can attempt to use that creature as an impromptu club]; this takes a standard action (it cannot be done in a full attack) and requires a grapple check to succeed (but you take a −6 penalty on the grapple check and must succeed on a [[Strength]] check, DC 15 − the victim's size modifier to AC (therefore making the DC higher for larger creatures), as lifting someone into the air with your weapon as an impromptu hilt and swinging them around like a club is far from an easy task, especially if they're not willing). If you fail on either the grapple check or the Strength check, nothing happens except for you wasting your action. If you succeed on the grapple check and the Strength check, you swing your weapon hard enough to lift your victim off the ground and temporarily use them as the "business end" of your weapon. Make a single melee attack against a creature other than the one you're grappling. (Alternatively, you can attack an object, such as a chest or a pillar, if one happens to be within your reach.) This attack does bludgeoning damage (regardless of what type of damage your weapon normally deals, unless the creature you're grappling is too small to completely cover up your weapon's "business end"), does damage according to the size of the creature you're grappling (see the examples section), and the full damage is dealt to both the creature or object you strike and the creature you're grappling. After your attack is resolved, you must make another grapple check; if you lose this grapple check, the impact (or lack thereof) immediately knocks or flings the creature you were grappling off of your weapon, ending the grapple and causing the (formerly) grappled creature to fall [[SRD:Prone|prone]] in the space of the creature you struck.
|example=The damage of your weapon is modified by using this feat as follows:
*If the creature you are grappling is Fine, your weapon does its normal damage, and the damage is bludgeoning and whatever type of damage your weapon normally deals (piercing and/or slashing). (If your weapon normally does bludgeoning damage, the damage is simply bludgeoning and whatever else it happens to also deal.)
