Thoughts on
WhiZard 's huge/colossal weapons...
In Shayans subrace engine based servers (and many others with homebrew subrace systems) players are given options for minotaurs, giants and other large characters.
These characters do indeed have different rules based on thier mdl size of what they can use.
Supposedly Giant sized characters can't use tiny weapons at all, (untested for pcs but i know the toolset sure doesnt like em), and a two handed weapon for most folk (like scythe or greatswords) is a one-handed weapon for them. While they cant dual weild 2 large weps, they can use a med wep offhand, or a shield (hand-and a half?).
I'd think (needs some testing obviously) that these higher size-classed weapons might be two handed weapons for such chars (possibly giving them the 50% damage bonus these high str PCs have been missing out on) and as mentioned, making a form of size-based use limitations (like tiny weps for large chars), as puny humans, elves and other "wee folk" just plain couldn't use them... At best they would be loot to sold or traded with large pcs. (Perhaps half orcs could be tinkered with, allowing them to use weapons as if they were a size class up from humans...)
It would also be intresting to see if PCs could be made to be Huge Colossal Sizes, and how the nwn engine deals with them as well. I like the thought of the largest brawniest warrior type barly able to use a giants dagger as a two handed sword

I'd definatly be intrested in this, as the potential for large pcs is big. (pun intended)...
