Inappropriately Sized Armor and Shields

[joeyfixit]

FAQ'd. I also would like an answer to this.

My twin large sized Madu Titan Mauler concept is waiting.

I dont like concepts based on inappropriately sized armor, shields and weapons but i would rule it in this way:

Weapons see RAW

--- Houserules ---

Armor
You can not use inappropriately sized armor. Smaller is to small and bigger is to big.

Shield
A large buckler is a medium light shield.
A large light shield is a medium heavy shield.
A large heavy shield is a medium tower shield.
..
Additionally i would increase the armor check penalty by 2.

If your shield is also a weapon then use the RAW for weapons.

Madu
In the description of a madu defined that "You cannot hold anything else in the hand that bears a madu." Due to this fact you need a useable shield hand which you only have with a medium or small madu.

Klar
I dont have the rules for a klar at the moment but i think madu and klar are very similar.

Ridiculous.

The rules do not state that your character can breath air.

They do state that your character breathes, though:

Humanoids breathe, eat, and sleep.

Try this one: No humanoid defacates or urinates. Even tavern maps show ablution facilities are conspicuously absent. Dungeons have no sign of even a single latrine. Camp sites don't have a convenient hole in the ground. I could go on ...

there is no RAW.

The answer depends on your stance:

Permissive: "It doesn't say you can't, so you can."
Non-Permissive: "It doesn't give a rule for it, so you can't"

Edit: Sigh, I got caught by the necro monster.
