The text for Conceal an Object says "You hide a small object on your person (such as a weapon of light Bulk)." It doesn't specifically say the concealed object must be light bulk, so I assume it's up to each GM to decide what can and cannot be concealed.
If a player wished to hide a 1-bulk sword Highlander-style, how would you rule? Too big to attempt? Or if you allowed it, would you apply a penalty to the check? I think I'm used to other systems that have a clearly defined modifier for each size category to apply to checks like these, but don't see that with Bulk.
Thanks.
I think the leeway is so you can conceal something small but very very heavy, i.e. bulky for weight but not volume. A longsword is probably bulky for both reasons, so I probably wouldn't allow it.
I think it's vague because you might be a size other than small/medium. You use enlarge to go Huge, you might be able to conceal a halflng [3 bulk dead weight].

But when you're Huge you consider the halfling to be Light, if I understand "Items and Sizes" on page 295 correctly.

That's how it reads to me too: IMO, the Conceal an Object text means 'small/light to you' which might not mean an actual Light object.
