I know there's the general -2 penalty for using an oversized weapon, but is there any rule in PF or 3.5 that states that some medium weapons count as a different weapon if wielded by small characters?
For example, is a medium dagger a small shortsword?
I didn't see these rulings when I looked at the open source stuff online, but I thought I read such somewhere. (In particular, our party found a +1 Keen Longsword, and my small gnome ranger is the best one to use it, but I really don't want that -2 to hit.)
I'm most interested in Pathfinder, but curious about 3.5 as well.
Side Questions related to Size: if a small PC wields a medium arrow as a dagger, it would count as oversized so you'd get the -2 penalty, right?
The ammunition for bows is of different sizes, correct? For example, a small bow uses small arrows and a medium bow uses medium arrows. I wanted to make sure the different damage die comes from the arrow size, not just the bow size.
