[QUOTE="Henry, post: 5818208, member: 158"] A lot of people don't have problem with small-size penalties -- they have a problem with being "double" penalized for being small. For example, in 3.5, not only are small critters typically given penalties to STR, but they are also given limitations on the weight they can carry -- they can only carry 3/4 what a medium size critter could, as well, AND they can only use "small" weapons, etc. Me personally, I think the penalties for small size make it so that being a small-sized or smaller warrior-type is pointless, and you could need to go Rogue or similar class whose damage is independent of size. For those who say that's as it should be, I'd like to see their thoughts on 7-ft tall barbarians taking on 50-foot 10-ton dragons. :) Plausibly speaking, those barbarians ought to be just as effective on the dragons as a pixie is on them.
