Giant PC's Weapons

1. Only for small PCs, not big ones.

Now, most fantasy games with giants and pixies will throw all physics right out the window, sure, but it's not necessarily the case. (That is, you can have giants and yet decide that their gear is still realistically larger and heavier.)

DF1 has rules for weapons and armor for SM +1 characters on pp. 27-28. The weapon modifications are complicated, but for armor just multiply weight and cost by 2.

For other equipment, I would use the rules from Ultra-Tech, p. 16 -- double weight and cost for SM +1 characters (just like for DF armor).

Did you mean SM +1? You only said "giant".

Low-Tech might have something to say on the subject, but for now I would just assume that anyone wielding a Bastard Sword does Bastard Sword damage. The only drawback for a SM +1 character wielding an SM +0 weapon is that they're more likely to hit the 3×ST cap. Oh, and the -2 penalty per SM difference (Fantasy [4e], p. 137) -- or, apparently, -1 per SM difference for DF gnomes and halflings.

Then you must deal with how every realistic giant MUST spend lots of their money on armored boots.
