[QUOTE="maggot, post: 3600606, member: 1005"] You have removed the ability to wield weapons one size larger. A human can wield a large longsword as a medium greatsword at -2 to hit. A race with your stout ability can weild it at -1. But neither race can wield a large greatsword. If that is what you intended, I would drop the penalty instead of dropping it to -1 as this will almost never come up. How many humans do you see weilding large longswords instead of just buying a medium greatsword. If you truly want something half-way between medium and large, you need to adjust the damage for a longsword to something halfway between d8 and 2d6 (d10 perhaps?), and the damage for a greatsword to something halfway between 2d6 and 3d6 (2d8 perhaps?). But that seems to complicated. I suppose you could make a new "stout" weapon type. A stout weapon is so big it cannot be wielded by an average creatures of weapon's size. But a stout weapon can be wielded by a stout creature of the weapon's size without penalty. Light and one-handed stout weapons deal +1 damage. Two-handed stout weapons deal +2 damage. [/QUOTE]
