Myzery78 07-18-07, 01:25 AM	I have two questions that I have not been able to find an answer to for some time now, so I thought they'd be worth posting here. The first is what happens when a medium creature weilds a small reach weapon? Does it maintain its reach even if weilded one handed? The second is what happens if a medium creature weilds a pair of small halberds with the Spinning halberd and oversized two weapon fighting feats? I know you'd take the -2 penalty on attack roles for an improperly sized weapon, the -2 for two weapon fighting, and the -5 on the secondary attacks, but would you be able to make 4 attacks? The second question isnt really much of an issue because of the huge penalties and heavy feat investments required for it, though its still something I'd like to know the answer to. Thanks

For the second part, doesn't the Spinning Halberd feat mention you have to be holding it in two hands? Otherwise, yeah, I guess its a valid approach, like TWF and Rapid shot for thrown weapons...
