[QUOTE="kenobi65, post: 2773648, member: 1515"] Exactly; the only time you need to worry about adjusting anything is when there's been a [b]change[/b] in a combatant's size. Otherwise, all the adjustments have already been "baked into" the characters' stats. This is because the adjustments due to size aren't handled on a "size vs. size" basis...Small creatures get +1 on attack rolls (versus *anybody*), and +1 on AC (versus *anybody*), so if you're playing a halfling, you just add +1 to your attack bonuses, and +1 to your AC, when you create the character, and you're done. (Note that, if you're fighting against another halfling, the +1 to attack rolls you get for being small is effectively counteracted by the +1 the other halfling has to his AC for being small...but you don't need to do the calculations each time.) Exactly. When you take on a smaller form, your Strength score will almost always drop...and when your weapon gets smaller, its damage dice also shrink. So, as Aaron notes, you'll be able to hit all day long...but just not do any damage. [/QUOTE]
