Added note about identical 'reach' for all melee weapons.

New page

'''Weapon size''' relates to the size of the weapon in comparison to that of the [[creature]] wielding it. The size of the weapon seems to have no effect its reach---the distance required to engage in melee combat; that is, a character wielding a spear and a character armed with a kukri must both be essentially the same distance from the target to attack.

==== Size Restrictions ====
*A weapon three sizes larger than the character cannot be wielded.
*A weapon two sizes larger than the character can be wielded [[two-handed]] only with the [[monkey grip]] feat.
*A weapon one size larger than the character can be wielded two-handed normally or one-handed with the monkey grip feat.
*A weapon the same size as the character can either be wielded one-handed (with a [[shield]] or [[dual-wield]]ing) or two-handed (nothing in the [[off-hand]]).
*A weapon at least one size smaller than the wielder must be wielded with one hand. It is also considered a [[light weapon]], as are [[Unarmed strike]]s.

==== Ranged Weapon Restrictions ====
*Bows must be wielded two-handed, regardless of their size.
*[[Thrown weapon]]s may not be dual-wielded, regardless of their size.

==Pre-release notes==
*Obsidian has stated that the [[DnD 3.5]] weapon size rules are not used in NWN2. "There are no 'small' [[longsword]]s, for example. A [[gnome]] or [[halfling]] using a longsword must use it [[two-handed]]." [http://nwn2forums.bioware.com/forums/viewpost.html?topic=480748&post=4115843&forum=95]
