Changing weapon size

[andargor]

I've looked at the rules in SS about changing the size of a weapon.

However, does this work with Small weapons normally wielded by Medium size characters?

For example, can Bladed Gauntlets (size S) be resized to size M and still be wielded by a Medium size character? Or does the size increase/decrease have to respect the difference in the size of the character (for this example, Medium Bladed Gauntlets could only be wielded by Large characters)?

Ah, the whip question.

Related, yes. I'm looking for a more general answer.

What about a Large Bladed Gauntlet that a Medium character can use two-handed?

Hahah! Yeah, one of those rule inconsistencies...

Like a Medium-sized Dagger that can be wielded by a character with Simple Weapon Proficiency and can be thrown...

Or the amazing 2d6 Large-Size Light Crossbow. 2 hands to use, but still only a move action to reload.

Oh oh, or monkey-gripping two large size Spiked Gauntlets at 2d6 each.

Or, the Amazing Colossal Shuriken!

The thing to remember is, the rules in SS (and the identical rules in A&Eq) are only a guideline. Common sense must still prevail.

Or, the Amazing Colossal Shuriken!

Don't laugh, I had a (2E) 19 Strength Half-Ogre fighter, double-specialised in shuriken, who was throwing the suckers many times per round for 1d4+10hp damage apiece. Friggin things were basically razor-edged HUBCAPS ... without having changed their base damage at all!

Nearly cut a cavalier's mount out from under him with one throw, once ... nasty, nasty things ... heh.
