PCGen help with character bonuses

Greetings!

I put together a 2nd level rogue halfling in PCGen 5100 and I'm losing my bonuses for hitting with melee and ranged. Is it a size of weapon issue?
I'm by no means a 3.5 guru so any help could be great.
See attached zip file, it's the pcg file for the character.

thanks

Yep, I think that's exactly it. I loaded up the character and gave him a Small shortsword. His attack bonus went from +0 to +2, which makes perfect sense.

You really need to take Weapon Finesse next level by the way. :)

If you don't know how to create custom (small) items in PCGen let me know and I'll describe it.
 


Just a couple steps:

1) Find the item you want from the regular list (for example Sword (short))
2) Right-click on it and select "Create Custom Item".
3) In the dialog that pops up, on the right, you'll see a "size" field. Change it to "Small"
4) Click the "Buy" button and the new item will be added to your character's inventory. Then equip the item as usual and you're all set. The damage, weight and everything else will be re-calculated for you.

Remember to do this for your armor, too, or you'll quickly find yourself encumbered. :)
