Magical Weapon Resizing

[Enig]

Heya! At the request of the creator of the armour resizing thread I've split this off from that one to discuss the merits of resizing weapons.

I think it'd be really great, especially since using a weapon that's improperly sized for a PC creates a fairly reasonably hefty accuracy penalty (equivelant to losing 4 points of strength for hit, though not damage). This would benefit any PC who's had the misfortune of finding only improperly-sized (for them) weapons and I can't see any downsides to it, really, except that it might discourage swapping weapons, however I haven't encountered that much; most people seem to prefer to sell their excess to NPCs rather than wait around for the perfect PC that just happens to be looking for what they're selling.

As he said....

Just for the note, it's actually a -4 to hit, which is equivalent to a -8 to STR on hit (as 2 STR give 1 +Hit :p)

So it's even worse as he said in fact

I just double-checked but, yep, it's still -2 (at the minimum, at least) for an improperly sized weapon, or in the immortal words of the D20 website, "a cumulative -2 penalty applies on attack rolls for each size category of difference between the size of its intended wielder and the size of its actual wielder".

I assume you're adding in the -2 to-hit that applies for dual-wielding (both main and off-hand) even with the two-weapon fighting feat?

PS: Hey, if it's a penalty of -2 does that mean we should actually be getting a +2 bonus to-hit for improperly sized weapons?

Brar's thinking of improvised weapons, that's all. Those get a -4 to-hit penalty. Like breaking a table and using the leg as a club.
