I'm optimising a WarPriest Healer for combat because in my group no-one yet wants to play a healer for the next campaign. I found the "Heavy Flail (Large)" which has a damage roll of 2d8, making it a perfect damage weapon with a min 2, max 16 base damage. Especially since a number of the powers I've chosen do 2W damage. However, I can't equip it to the character as it appears in all red.

What characters are able to wield such a weapon?

 You aren't meant to be using a Large weapon as a Medium-sized creature.

 Large weapons are meant to be used by Large-sized creatures. Player character races are all Medium-sized or smaller creatures.  There are certain circumstances under which characters can become Large, but they are few and far between.

 Edit: A Bugbear can wield a large weapon as a Medium-sized creature because one of their racial features allows them to. However, Bugbears aren't exactly one of the better races because they lack any sort of support as far as racial feats.

Isn't there an Epic Destiny that allows you to wield Large weapons?

Cheers, precisely what I needed to know.

I am quite enjoying my cleric's two handed spiked chain myself. Had to burn a feat to get the proficiency but worth it for the +3 to hit. The [W] is 2d4 which is not bad. But having reach + Fell Strike knocking enemies prone is quite handy as a healer.

Yep.  Bugbear Avalanche Hurler/Eternal Defender/Dwarven Thrower Gouge for a [W] that breaks the dice tables.

Harrying your Prey, the Easy Way: A Hunter's Handbook - the first of what will hopefully be many CharOp efforts on my part.

What is the next step?  That IS a good question.

Logic would suggest 2d12, followed by... 4d6?
