Every melee creature who doesn't have an effective ranged attack suddenly becomes fodder to the large greatspear-wielding PC.Hell, this time around game designers haven't even managed to avoid the scenario with medium PCs.The solution probably isn't to ban large PCs, it's to make sure that knocking someone off their feet is usually costlier than them having to stand up again.</blockquote>
