02-08-07, 12:33 AM In the PHB it indicates that if a weapon were to be made for a large sized creature that its cost is doubled.

The A&E Guide indicates that the cost of a Large weapon is +50%.

Has there been an official ruling on which is corrrect?

02-08-07, 12:50 AM A&EG is 3.0, the PHB (assuming your using the current one) is 3.5.

At any rate, in a 3.5 game making a weapon sized for a large creature doubles the price of a medium sized weapon. The increases in size/cost in 3.0 were completely different because it used a different weapon size system.

02-08-07, 01:02 AM PHB for several reasons:

1) It is 3.5, A&EG is 3.0.

2) It is primary source (PHB.)

Thanks for the clarification.

One other question then -- does anyone know the cost factors for other sizes then?

This is in the PHB, but I will dup here:

Cost of Medium to X:
1/16 Fine
1/8 Diminutive
1/4 Tiny
4 Huge
8 Gargantuan
16 Colossal

02-08-07, 12:17 PM Thanks Risner. Could you please tell me where in the PHB it shows that. I have scoured the dang book endlessly and can not find any reference to that.

02-08-07, 03:50 PM PHB p114, but it isn't as clear as I remembered it.

The costs are give for small/medium (the same) and for Large.

It leaves you to extrapolate (like I did) that bigger than Large cost 2x each step and smaller than Small cost 1/2 each step.
