[QUOTE="Aran Thule, post: 4663839, member: 65879"] Even if small races are missing out on a bit of damage they make up for it with utility in my opinion. I am playing a two weapon halfling ranger(sneak of shadows) and yes it is a shame that he is limited to a short bow, but melee wise it isnt much of a handicap. I still have the option of using two scimitars and getting scimitar dance at paragon level or using a light weapon when needed to get sneak damage. While adventuring there have been multiple times when his size have worked to his advantage, be it using an object for full cover which medium sized creatures cannot do or the many things you can do roleplaying being half the size of the rest of the party. Also i think it is a lot easier this way then with previous editions where weapons did different damage depending on what size they were. When push comes to shove i guess that if you are not happy with how it works then dont play one. From my point of view i think WotC have done a good job in making an interesting and balanced race.
