EFFECT OF WEAPON SIZE
When weapons change size, many other factors change at the same time. The Player’s Handbook discusses the effect of size on weight and cost. According to Weapon Qualities on page 114 of that book, costs given are for Small and Medium versions of the weapons. Large versions cost twice as much. The same section says to halve the given weight for Small versions, and double it for Large versions. To calculate the damage a larger- or smaller-than-normal weapon deals, first determine how many size categories it changes from Medium. A longsword (normally Medium, commonly used by Medium beings) in the hand of a Huge cloud giant increases two size categories. For each category change, consult the accompanying tables, finding the weapon’s original damage in the left column and reading across to the right to find its new damage.
