I'm not sure this is actually a feature request; maybe more an inquiry of the feasibility of the thing.
So, in pen and paper halflings and gnomes had a special relationship with weapons: they could only handle up to medium-sized ones. They could handle a short sword or a dagger (small) with one hand, and an axe, a light crossbow or a long sword (medium) with two; then, they could not handle at all a greatsword or a long bow, because they're large weapons. (There was a similar rule for shields, but it was made obsolete by the fact that, for example, a medium shield for a gnome was a large one, so it doesn't really matter much.) I think the only exceptions were staves.
From a min-max builiding point of view, obviously this would be a downer for shorties, who could then inflict less damage than medium-sized characters (but, on the other hand, if I'm not mistaken BG:EE implemented the bonuses against giants, orcs, goblins and kobolds that some shorties had, but were never implemented in vanilla BG); but, looking at it from a pnp rule lawyer perspective, this feature should be there somewhere (and it would also make sense that a 3-foot tall character couldn't pull up a 6-foot long blade).
So, what I'm asking is: would this be feasible, even as a mod, or would it require to put one's hand in hard-coded stuff?
