I really wish something was done about how weapons are categorized in Pathfinder. Get rid of the Light, One-Handed, and Two-handed groups. Also get rid of different damage ratings for small and medium sized weapons. Just give each weapon a size, from Tiny to Large. The size of the weapon relative to it's wielder determines what type of weapon it is. So Tiny and Small weapons are Light, Medium weapons are One-Handed, and Large weapons are Two-Handed. Bigger and smaller creatures shift the weapon sizes down and up. So a Small creature would shift all weapon sizes up one (a small weapon becomes medium)and a Large creature would shift all weapon sizes down one (a large weapon becomes medium). See, much easier, simple, and more logical. Actually, how difficult would it be to house rule weapon to work more like I described above?

Very easily done, it's how the weapon sizes worked in 3E before 3.5 changed it. I always liked it and it made finding weapons for different size characters randomly a bit easier.

yea basically dump everything but the medium size creature's weapon stats from the equipment section, and then a weapon is light if its less then your size, one handed if its equal to your size two handed if its one step up from your size. Use medium as a standard, so, short sword and its ilk are small, longsword and its ilk are medium, great sword and its are large. So if a half-ling wants a light weapon it uses a dagger.
