[QUOTE="JDJblatherings, post: 3764812, member: 52044"] 12" to 24" handle is small? As for methods of use I can chop thru a tree branch as big as my wrist with my sword, slice and stab with it, it'd likely break someones arm too. But we arent' talking reality and weapons. The ogre is big enough to break the rules with human sized weapons, what's wrong with that? Never said that happened. And the D&D notion of shortsword use is funny, one method of use of one style of shortsword made them deployable piercing wepaons...what happened to the 2+ feet of blade behind the point? Not to mention my sword has a point, a double edged point designed to pierced things and it is surely not a shortsword. what is impossible? Halberds, pikes, longspears. Usually ogres runabout with big clubs in my campaigns. Want to use all the weapons created by human civilization as a human can, play a human. Want to be a gnome or halfling well deal with being a gnome or halfling. Choices should mean something , choices are pointless is they have little or no reprecussions. That's just it human weapons aren't halfling weapons and aren't ogre weapons. We shouldn't try making them such. The size and design of a weapon is what makes it that given weapon chaning it's size makes it not that weapon. There is also the point of commonality, how many wepaon smiths are turning out weapons designed for Ogres? [/QUOTE]
