The idea can work, but it needs to be cleaned up. Adopt my wording below and this will change.

What Ganteka said, also change to what Eiji said.

Also "weapon that can be used to grapple creatures" is stupidly limiting. You'd think this would work with almost any 1 or 2 handed weapon that does piercing damage. This feat is a steaming pile of nope.

Woe be to anyone attempting to use this in combat and having to read through it. Worse, if they read through it as the author intends and they get sucked into an unending horror of TV Tropes and never get back to the game ever what terrible fate has befallen these poor unfortunates. This is a gargantuan clunky mess. Make a Strength check DC 15 minus the victim's size modifier to AC (–4) and read a bunch of flavor text in the middle of the rules. Wait... DC 19 to lift a gargantuan creature? What if you can't even lift that much with your carrying capacity? Do I even care? No I don't, because I won't be using this disaster of a feat. Sandbox away!

This can be done shorter

I recommend this:

You can use creatures you are grappling as a club. On a successful opposed grapple check you can either make a standard or full attack action using the creature as an improvised club appropriate to its size. For example, medium creatures count as two-handed medium clubs, but one-handed medium clubs for large creatures.

Damage is done to both your target and the victim of the grapple. You may also throw your victim with a range increment of 10 ft. Thrown creatures land prone.

The rest is confusing. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 04:56, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
