Re: small everything

I see, there are now small VERSIONS of all weapons! ahha

So my halfling could use a halfling long sword in one hand but it would not do as much as the noral longsword but more then a normal shortsword. correct?

(If I am being a pain in the Butt you can feel free to ignore my halflingcentric questions!

I'm not certain that it's similar to the Short Sword (it probably is but I don't want to be wrong) but yes, otherwise correct.

Is the Druids animal companion's "share spells" ability the same as the Familiars share spell ability from 3.0 (in particular the range?)

Quoted from SRD:
Share Spells: At the master's option, he may have any spell he or she casts on themselves also affect a familiar. The familiar must be within 5 feet at the time. If the spell has a duration other than instantaneous, the spell stops affecting the familiar if it moves farther than 5 feet away. The spell's effect will not be restored even if the familiar returns to the master before the duration would otherwise have ended. Additionally, the master may cast a spell with a target of "You" on a familiar (as a Touch range spell) instead. The master and familiar can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the familiar's type.

Yes, it is identical.

About wielding weapons made for persons of a different size .... is one size bigger/smaller the limit on what a character can wield, or does the -2 penalty stack for each size off (2 sizes = -4, 3 sizes = -6) ?

Shadowstar/Roy:

How is it looking for getting the copy back and answering some more questions? Is there anything any of us could do to help ? I live in the Bay Area ... if you can get me the book to answer questions I'd be incredibly more than happy to sit down and hammer out answers. I know this is a long shot, but I thought I'd offer ...
