What would you all think of allowing the Enchant Magic Item ritual to resize magic weapons in the same manner it allows the resizing of magic armor?
This would allow the PCs to get use out of a giant's weapons as well as their armor (the example in EMI is specifically a giant's armor being resized to fit a halfling).
The next question is, would you then want to return to user-sized weapons? With the relatively easier resizing for weapons the biggest mechanical problem of size-specific weapons from 3.5 goes away. The balance problem (halflings do less damage) still remains, though. OTOH, this would allow halflings to use an appropriately-sized 2H weapon (instead of having to make do with a longsword with no damage bonus).
It looks like the rules for being small and using weapons may have some additional subtleties.
