Melee classed small Raced characters?

It would depend on the campaign setting. It might be a fun twist to play a campaign, or even a one-shot, where you're all wee folk dealing with problems uniquely their own. A Pixie Paladin on a Celestial Housecat or a Brownie Barbarian could be interesting.

Wow, a quadruple post! I am good.

 

[Red Baron]

Yippee.

Divine Might: It's one of the channeling feats from Defender of the Faith. You can activate it with a standard action (by the book, the FAQ says free action... wrongly) and gain your charisma modifier X as bonus to weapon damage for X rounds.

Why is it wrong to have it as a free action? If you think about it is pretty logical. Eg a paladin having a cha mod of +1 (or lowered to that) would gain no advantage of the feat since it would only work one round which is until your next turn. The general concensus is that a feat, if you fulfill the prereq's should grant you some sort of bonus.

Btw, Red Baron, quadruble posts are nice, but try and break the record of five.

I haven't looked up tiny characters in 3.5 yet, what happens if they have a tiny reach weapon?

They get 5' reach, but can't attack in their own square.

I'm not sure that Darklone meant that having Divine Might as a free action was the wrong way to go, but that the FAQ made it a free action, which is a change to the rules, which is supposedly not what the FAQ is for.

'Course, maybe that's not what he meant at all.

small v. medium level 12 fighters

Here's a comparison between a medium-sized fighter and small-sized fighter. Each is otherwise identical at level 12, 22 Str, feats of WF, gWF, WS, gWS, iC in greatsword, and each wields a +3 greatsword.

Edit: each greatsword is sized for its wielder

Average damage/round shown here, full attack, criticals accounted for.
