Halfling ranger does 1d10+5 w/bow?

[Sadrik]

Does a halfling ranger do 1d10 with his long bow and add their dex 20 (+5) to the damage? and because of small size they would get a bonus to hit too? And with that +4 to hit at will power, this seems to be a very effective build...

The newer versions of the experience sheets show Careful Attack doing just a flat 1d10.

You forget one thing. A Halfling Ranger wouldn't be using a regular longbow, as it's to big for them. Their version would probably do d8 damage at best.

To hit mod. with a bow should use either DEX or STR (depending on class), +1/2 level.
For arrow Damage there should be no mod. given for Abilities.

ATTACK
Accuracy bonus of the weapon +1 to +3?
20 Dex bonus +5
Size bonus +1?
Ranger's Careful Attack +4
Level +1 per 2 levels
Enhancement bonus +0 or more
Even at 1st level this is: +11 to +13 (depending on bow accuracy bonus- anybody figure out the bonus?)

DAMAGE
1d10 (doesn't appear they have to use smaller weapons)
Dex to damage +5 (even if the Careful Attack removes this...)
Enhancement bonus +0 or more
First level: 1d10+5 damage is good.

So why is the Paladin using a shortsword instead of a longsword?

-Edit, also, the Paladin isn't getting a size bonus to attack.

Because halflings have to wield a longsword (or any weapon with the versicle property) with two hands.

If you can point to where someone who knows what their talking about says that's the only weapon restriction they have, I will be surprised and contrite.

Can you show me where this is taken from?

I don't think he's ripped it from anywhere, it's just a run down of stuff we already know, like that you get +1 BAB per two levels.

That said, we have no evidence of size bonuses to attack just yet (hence the ? I assume)
