Li Shenron said:But it was simpler, that size already told everything about how can you wield such a weapon. Now it's slightly but unnecessary more complicated. As I said, it's not a big difference, but having to choose I prefer the earlier version.
It didn't. It told you nothing about what you needed for proficiency with that weapon - and that's where the problem started.
I do consider that a "Large Dagger" to sound more like a dagger used by a large creature, rather than a greatsword for a human and a dagger for a Colossal creature. I detest the confusion in nomenclature of the 3e system.
