Always use weapons and armor that are your size.
Why are they only effective in the hands of larger sized races? What happens to make it less effective for me?
Let's say you're playing a centaur (size large) you'd wanna be using weapons that are size large (not medium or giant), if you were playing a giant (size giant) you'd wanna use a weapon that's size giant (not large or huge) because if the weapon you're wielding isn't the size of your character you receive penalties.
However, to clarify, a giant wielding a giant sized weapon will do more damage than a centaur wielding a large sized weapon, even though a centaur wielding a large sized weapon will do more damage than one wielding a giant sized weapon.
In summary:
Sprite - size tiny - tiny weapon
Halfling, dwarf, gnome - size small - small weapons
Human, Elf, Deep-elf, Half-elf - size medium - medium weapons
Griffon, minotaur, Centaur - size large - large weapons
Giant - size giant - giant weapons
