Oversized Weapons List (5e Variant Rule)

Result of applying Oversized (5e Variant Rule) to 5e SRD:Weapons. While it's supposed to be used by Large characters as intermediate stage between normal and Large weapons (Large weapons would just use *2 dice), surprisingly many of them are useful for Small and Medium characters. Would like to turn it into proper sheet like on 5e SRD:Weapons later. Many names are pending.

  • Special: Requires two hands to wield when you aren't mounted - in which case it counts as Two-Handed and Heavy. It's unknown if such "acquired Heavy" counts as "natural heavy"; if it does, then can't be used by Small character, and has disadvantage is used by Medium character. If "acquired Heavy" doesn't count as "natural Heavy", then medium and small characters can use it two-handed as usual. If used when mounted, it can be used with one arm - and therefore, isn't Two-Handed, isn't Heavy, and can by used by anyone. Regardless of size, you have disadvantage when you use a lance to attack a target within 5 feet of you.

Properties

• The weapon is only considered - Light, Finesse, Versatile, Thrown - if you are a Large creature, otherwise it is ignored.
• Two-handed: add the Heavy property if it doesn't already have it. It's not certain if it counts as "natural heavy" for purposes of being unwieldy.
• Heavy: If you are a Medium creature, you have disadvantage on attack rolls with the weapon. If you are Small, you cannot wield the weapon at all.
• Quadruple the weight and cost of the weapon, and of any ammunition it uses. Considering what pre-made examples listed doubled cost, we will assume it's not quadrupled (multiplied by 4), but doubled (multiplied by 2).
• 1 → 1d4 → 1d6 → 1d8 → 1d10 → 1d12 → 2d8
• 2d4 → 2d6 → 2d8
