In the FRC Claw bracers are Tiny and do 1d4 of damge could a medium size creature still wield them if they used a Small or medium sized version of Claw Bracers?

Oft hand certainly as many magical items resizes to the user. Espcially gloves and boots. Besides letting tiny being allowed to do such damage appears to be powergaming *wink*

I do not know official rulng of this magical item. Some do not resize, however one size larger appear to be able to use some tiny items. If resize is not a feature of the item, larger sized creatures could not use them effectively.

OK, after several failed attempts to set up a table here, I'll just take the easy way out.

I also beleive that the "tiny" listing was to show that they are light weapons. The claw bracers usable by medium sized creatures are medium weapons, even if they are "light" under 3.5. Its the same way the Fullblade is actually a large size weapon instead of a huge weapon as listed in the Arms and Equipment Guide.

Yes I would say so, just like a medium dagger is 1d4.

Try it Now

Scroll down a bit, it has the info on scaling weapons.

Edit: Oh, and Alaundo, that local file was Sage & Sovelior's SRD.
