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.

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'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.
