[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 1636829, member: 707"] I believe this is incorrect. The halfling/gnome would take a -2 penalty to attack rolls for using an improperly-sized weapon. 3.0 is the version that allowed the halfling to just pick up the human-sized short sword and use it as one-handed weapon.I haven't played or run anything larger than Large, so perhaps I'm not aware of the issues, but 3.0's weapon-sizing seemed to work perfectly fine. I'm interested in what wonkiness there is, since I still use 3.0 weapon-sizing rules.I believe he was referring to the new rule that all creatures take up a square-space. i.e. a warhorse is no longer 10'x5', it's 10'x10'. And I believe you knew that.This is an interesting illustration of how everyone's game is different. I've never had buff spells last 3 encounters in 3.5 (and very rarely 2). And in 3.0 after the first wizard cast [i]Haste[/i] and then [some other spell], the other wizard's next spell was usually [i]Greater Dispelling[/i]. But again, this can be different in every game. Personally, I do think there were some problems in the 3.0 spells, but 3.5 goes much, much too far.I didn't have a regular group back during 1e and 2e. Why should I have to deal with imbalanced rules now, because the wizard stole the show in your campaigns then?This one I have to agree with. :p [/QUOTE]
