[QUOTE="Shadowlore, post: 558261, member: 9509"] I think I know what you are asking. :) If a giant (L) picks up a greatsword, it does not change the weapon's size category. Relatively speaking, it is a [B]lighter[/B] weapon [I]to the giant[/I], but it is still a [B]Large[/B] weapon. So, for sundering purposes, (for example), it is still a (L) sized weapon. To me, this means that a giant (L) can use a "normal" longsword as "light weapon". A light weapon is defined as a weapon one size category smaller than the wielder, a one-handed weapon the same size, and a two handed one size largerr. So, to sum up, the size category doesn't change, but the relative weight/hands required does. now to your sunder question .. if you are talking about a Huge giant, I'd say not bloody likely. A Huge giant's appropriately sized shield is size ... Gargantuan. Huge is two steps above Medium, Large shield for Medium creaure is Large so I upped the size category for the shield by two steps. Large shields are one size category larger than the wielder, relatively speaking. So, short of the medium chracter wielding a Huge weapon (not bloody likely), I'd say nope. :o [/QUOTE]
