Is there a chart that shows the reach of weapons as they increase in size?
A creature threatens anything within it's natural reach, whether using a natural attack or using a weapon. If a creature is using a reach weapon, it threatens out to twice its natural reach, but does not threaten with that weapon in the space out to where the natural reach starts. A creature can make a melee attack into any space it threatens.
While larger weapons are generally used by larger creatures, it is the reach of the creature that determines how far it can attack.
The natural reach of creatures is given in the combat chapter in the section on big and little creatures.

What are the negatives for using a large or huge weapon as a medium creature?
Penalty to hit and increased effort of use. -2 penalty for each size penalty that the weapon is too big (-2 for large, -4 for huge) and increased effort of use (light-1 hand-2 hand). A medium creature can use a large dagger as a one-handed weapon, or a huge dagger as a two handed weapon. He could use a large longsword as a two-handed weapon, and could not use a huge longsword at all. He could not use a large nor huge two-handed weapon.
