Thesis: That weapons and the size limitations (forcewield and the associated
negative modifiers) make no sense when looking at game balance, item design,
and racial options.

Reasoning: Ok, so a breastplate that is the same weight/size/bonuses can be
worn by a giant and a sprite. This would lead us to believe that eq adjusts
automatically to the wearer. Why would a sword not do the same? Therefore
size should not affect the ability for any player to wield an item. I
_firmly_ believe that strength/size _should_ be included in weapon speed
calculations, but I think that if we can remove the need for everyone to be
over size 82 that wants to use large weapons there would be a more diverse
option for race choices instead of 85% hybrids (mortal) being ents. Anyway,
please discuss.. I'd like to state the rest of my reasons but I'll be late for
a meeting if I do. I'll maybe put part 2 up if some useful discussion takes
place.
