[QUOTE="drakhe, post: 1521457, member: 4930"] If you're campaign world is built like that, OK, but you shouldn't generalize this statement. It's not a given that halflings (or any other non-human race) are automaticaly outnumbered, and therefore do not have access to weapons sized specificaly for them, made by them. I think generaly the opposite is true. In most campaign worlds there are fairly large communities for each of the major races. Or just simply look to Tolkien: Hobbiton & the Shire are Hobbit country! It stands to reason that they craft weapons fit for their own size. And even if a certain race is outnumbered, any member of any race can, given enough cash/resources/..., ask a black-smith to create one, or simply make one (given resource, time, skills, etc offcourse). In the 13th warrior, The Banderas Arab takes a viking broadsword and re-shapes it into a weapon more suitable to what he is used to wield.
