Range Increments for Non-Medium sized weapons

[Beale Knight]

Is there a guide to adjusting the range increments of weapons that aren't medium sized?

I've found the damage adjustment chart in the back of the Monster Manual, but I haven't found anything to help me with the increment question.

I find it hard to beleive that a pixie's spear and a cloud giant's spear both have range increments of 20'.

The recommendation in Savage Species is, from memory, adjust up or down by 25% per size category.

In Core Rules, there's no change.

The 25% sounds reasonable; I'll run with that. Thanks for the info. Glad to know I wasn't just missing it in the core rules.

That's right. When thrown with the same strength, the smaller object goes farther, faster. So the pixie's should have a greater range incriment than the cloud giant's. If you don't believe me, try this yourself. Get a bowling ball and a baseball. You have the same strength as yourself...
Now throw both. Which goes farther?

Really, on the other hand, strength is what makes the real difference. And that's already adjusted for (In damage adjustment, not in distance).
I could easily see a ruling that gives greater (and lesser) range increments based on strength. You get +2 to strength for each size catagory up, and -2 for each down. But, as I said, there's already some adjustment for strength in there.
