Is it at all possible to make some special weapons that seem bigger to the small races than the bigger ones?

What I'm envisioning is something like a Gnomish Bastard Sword. In a gnomes hands it would be a 2handed sword and swappable to a heavy edge for one handed use. To a halfling it would be a heavy edge sword, to everyone else (except togs and kaldaran) it would be a medium edge. To Gor'togs and Kaldaran it would be a light edge/thrown weapon.

As a gnome who trains in heavy edge and 2 handed it feels kind of silly and very very out of character and next to impossible for me to be dragging around a claymore to practice my 2 handed skill. A 1.5 foot tall gnome (that's me) has no business wielding a 7 foot sword. However if there were a sword that to ME felt like a larger weapon it would make waaay more sense.

The request doesn't seem to be for racial weapons but weapons that accurately reflect the size of the person wielding it.

In other words a sword X long might be a SE for a Gor'tog but an HE for a Gnome.



Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.
