I find it easiest to understand that penalty if you consider that medium weapons are made to be wielded by characters with medium-sized hands. Trying to use small hands, or large hands, on grips designed for medium hands, is awkward, thus the -2 penalty. As long as your hands fit your weapon, however, you're set. This is why a large longsword is -not- identical to a medium greatsword, because the grips will be different.</blockquote>
