Once I was told the reason why 1st and 2nd Edition weapons do greater damage to Large Creatures, but I have forgotten. Would somebody please refresh my memory?
I can see the logic in that large creatures have larger vital organs than medium sized creatures and thus weapons can puncture them better.
Yet this ability to do more damage to large creatures made monster like Ogres less threatening. I remember DMing 2E and describing an Ogre charging toward the party and the first words out of a player's mouth are "Awesome! It's a Large creature! My longsword can do 1d12 instead of 1d8!
Did Col_Pladoh explain his reason in one of the Q&A threads and I missed it?
I'd like to know because I'm thinking of running a 2E game to players who've only played 3E/3.5 and will probably ask that question.
