For example, I think con 15 for a small dog is actually too small for a small dog...a dog will roll around in just about anything like dirt and will eat carrion in the wild.If your problem is that the creatures are so small that they should go "splatter" when hit with a heavy mace, the DMG has rules for massive damage based on size. Still, I think that a rat could probably avoid going splatter from a mace hit due to its ability to DODGE hits!Also, if you get rid of the attack penalty, creatures of equal size will have a harder or easier time hitting each other based on size, which wouldn't make since. The AC bonus and attack bonus are designed so that two small creatures and two large creatures would gain no penalty or advantage over each other, but a small creature could probably avoid a large creature pretty well.</blockquote>
