Legend
True there is magic in dnd. Unfortunately the base assumptions are that outside of magical happenings the world works a lot like ours. Though by this logic my human warrior should have no issue hauling around a sword the size table because hey why not.
I used to think like you, then I met Mr Manny.
Manny was an old school player, he was playing D&D when I was learning to read. He had an unhealthy opsesion with playing little characters with big weapons. His dream character (that he never got to play) was in 3.5 a kobold with a Clossal+ sized full blade. We used to laugh when he played 4'5 human fighters with monky grip and titan blood and go for the magic gloves that let him use gargantuan melee weapons. But it was what he liked.
It wasn't until we played this game about anthropomorphic animal pirates that we realized it wasn't even damage he was after. One of the things was weapon damage was not connected to fluff, so he played a hafling sized mongoose man that had a ship cannon and an axe the size of two of him as weapons, both did d6 damage and was happy.
if someone wants to play a character who does just what you suggest "Though by this logic my human warrior should have no issue hauling around a sword the size table because hey why not" why not?
