[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 1520713, member: 177"] Correction - it is only balderdash if ogres have a large and sophisticated society all it's own that are up to the task of producing larger weapons and training ogre rogues with them instead of the human-sized ones. More precisely, the class descriptions don't take character size into account in a way you like. For campaigns where the world society is dominated by medium-sized critters, the rules still make some sense. They just don't give an optimal answer for large critters. But, in such a world, large critters aren't an optimal choice. If they aren't going to make doors bigger for them, don't expect them to regularly make weapons bigger, too. :) Hm. Poor example for this argument. The Orc Double axe is an exotic weapon. When your base complaint is "who is proficient with what, and why?", exotic weapons are a poor choice, since generally proficiency with it is gained through willfully taking a feat. Choose to introduce a new simple or martial weapon, and this will be a more difficult point to deal with. [/QUOTE]
