Hey there,
i've got a simple stupid question but wanna make sure i got the right answer.
the talenta tangrat weapon on pg 120 of eberron says it has d8(small) and d10(medium)

does this mean it does d8 against small and d10medium or if a halfling uses it its a d8 dam and if a human uses it its a d10?
i'm confused because its made by halflings for halfings why would there be a medium sized one?
thanks for you time

It's the same as always: d8 for a version sized for use by small creatures, d10 for the version sized for use by medium creatures. As for why? Why not have a halfing take an oversized weapon feat and weild a medium sized one? Or perhaps a medium-sized Talenta enthusiast wannabe wants to have one?

also they might be given as ceremonial gifts to ambasadors, and you don't want to be seen as belittleing them.

Or for ceremonial slaying of the Beast?
