There Are Only Five Weapon Sizes
I, too, have spent countless hours on making D&D combat more to my liking. Like many I have come to appreciate simpler, more elegant mechanics.
While I have not yet found the right combination of attacks versus defense bonuses, I have “solved” the weapons list. Emphasizing the abstract design of D&D combat, I see only five weapon sizes—really just three:
| Weapon Type/Size | Usage |
|---|---|
| light/short | one-handed only |
| medium | both |
| heavy/long | two-handed only |
