[QUOTE="Yalım, post: 5303652, member: 94569"] No +/- 1's on stats. That's never a good idea. Make them medium (uses weapons one category smaller, though, and give them size benefits like all small creatures except for AC and attack bonuses) and hand them -2 to all stats, because children are underdeveloped in ALL ways (growing up doesn't decrease your dexterity and constitution, it increases them). Then hand them a bonus feat or something (because they're prodigies) and a few abilities from a small list, including: - +something to saves - immunity to a certain type(s) of damage - immunity to a certain condition(s) - +something ridiculous to a certain skill (like perform, since child prodigies usually do a lot of that) - Some SLAs You could forsake the bonus and the extra ability/abilities to give them something like +6 to one stat (the original -2, with 6 added, makes for +4) because that's a "prodigy" thing to do. But that sounds like something for munchkins, and would mean that everybody is going to play a gray elf child with 24 Int. [/QUOTE]
