[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 3992470, member: 3867"] Now we have different damage based on the wielder's size. :p The difference between a small long sword and a medium short sword is simple. 5 GP. That's it. Otherwise, the two weapons are identical. Back in the day, we just used a bit of common sense. A halfling is smaller, so they're going to need a short sword. As for specialty priests, I agree that they had some of the best flavor around. Maybe not balanced, but I loved how they customized the cleric into interesting characters. Domains are supposed to replace this in 3e, but you could easily come up with clerics of two similar deities with the same domains. This isn't customized to the deity. Now, what I've seen happen is that some prestige classes take the role of specialty priests. I applaud this. You can see some great examples in Dragonlance's [I]Holy Orders of the Stars[/I].
