Which is why I don't mind the 3.0 rules so much. Easy to imagine the similarities. Which is something I don't fully understand, or can envision. Small folks only fght Samll creatures !? Per all the usual books/suppliments mall critters (gnomes and halflings specifically) tended to lie in secluded areas away from the big folks. Given how much both are supposed to enjoy eating, revelling, drinking etc the food larders alone would make them targets to muarading bands. Medium are larger creatures seem to be more prevalent. Even if said little people live behind bigger folks patrol lines, scouting parties can evade them unless the patrols are on high alert. And lets not forget the lions (cougars), tigers (wolves), and bears...My view <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Wierd huh? I don't see halfling armor being as thick as human armor, at least not without adding more to the armor check penalty.Guess I house ruled this (goes to not following the letter of the RAW?). Batons are considered clubs. I had no problem letting little folks double wield one. Then again, I let folks double wield halbergs (check the swedish royal honor guard [think I got the name right]. They still train in its use).This is where I compared function to proficiency. I don't see halflings using SS just like a LS; they're jusy very capable of using the weapon effectively. To quote Zorro; 'The pointy end goes in the other guy'.As for the letter of the law, I don't think a halfling could. Weapon size trumps weapon description, with the exception of monkey grip and a few others. Regarless of EXP, the weapons size restricts the use to two hands. Bastard sword is still a Medium weapon.Meh... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
