[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 2864442, member: 11146"] kinem, the short sword taken from Drider 1 by Prixo is large short sword; accordingly, the weapon is size large. For anyone not familiar with or who doesn't own a 3.5 PHB, or who simply doesn't have access to a PHB or SRD while at work, weapons have sizes. I'm sure most of you are already more than familiar with how 3.5 addresses weapon sizing, but just in case someone isn't, here goes. The short sword we are discussing is size large and therefore deals 1d8 for its base damage. For most normal medium-sized characters, the large short sword changes its category from light melee to one-handed melee (PHB 113) and will cause a medium-sized character wielding it to incur a -2 penalty to attack (also PHB 113). For a normal small-sized character, the large short sword is a two-handed melee weapon that will garner a -4 penalty to attack. A large character would still consider the weapon light and would suffer no attack penalty. In all three cases, the 1d8 of damage remains the base damage, regardless of who is wielding the large short sword. [/QUOTE]
