[QUOTE="FireLance, post: 1932519, member: 3424"] I can clarify it because I'm playing a game, and I'm using the game's definitions. More importantly, when I'm playing or running a game, I want to know the exact statistics of the weapon my characyer or NPC is using. I'm willing to fudge a bit when it comes to variations of length, hilt size, weight, balance, material, etc. because for playability reasons, my game resolution mechanic isn't complex enough, unlike the great AI-run, full-sensory VR game that is Real Life (tm). Now, if the argument is that there is sufficient variation among Medium shortswords that a Small longsword can be considered one, that's fine. That's what the optional weapon equivalency rules are for. For me though, the idea that smaller or larger races would make and use their own smaller or larger versions of the different weapons makes sense and appeals to me. I will make a distinction between Medium shortwords and Small longswords, thank you. [/QUOTE]
