Weapon Size Question

[Tetsubo]

A&EG says bigger -> further, smaller -> shorter.

Large Longbow -> 125 ', Small Longbow -> 75'.

Whether a Tiny longbow is 75% of 75 or 50% of 100, they don't say.

-Hyp.

I'd rule that the percentage change is based on the original default Medium size.

For me, it is reflective of perception/relativity as well.

Two 12 foot tall giants at 400 feet apart perceive themselves to be identical as two 6 foot tall humans at 200 feet apart or two 3 foot tall halflings at 100 feet apart.

The chances of hitting a target of that size at that range should be identical in all three of these cases.

Correct. The *chance* of hitting hasn't changed. But 400' is further than 200' which is further than 100'. Which is why I think the *range* increments should change. The chance that any of your examples can hit each other is not effected by the weapon size.

Unless of course a Small being tries using a Large weapon. That wouldn't go far to my mind. I'd apply a range increment penalty plus the attack and damage penalties already reflected in the rules.
