Message: <blockquote data-quote="[OMENRPG]Ben" data-source="post: 5592425" data-attributes="member: 6677983">My first time DMing a 3.5 game, after the system had been out for a few years and my group had nearly all of the books (including many third party), I decided to play a high fantasy game with very low restrictions. I started everyone at effectively high level, 9 if I can recall, and one of my characters wanted to play a Pixie druid (over-powered I know.) Anyway, despite his awesome power through the levels, he was fairly easily captured by an evil wizard and his minions, and ultimately died for it. But, he was terrifying as a druid that could morph into a dire bear and cast buffing spells, dealing more damage than the party's melee assassin. All in all, game balance went out the window, but a great deal of fun and creative situations came to the table. He was and still is one of the best and most memorable characters in any game I've been involved with. So I say, go for it! But, if you want to create a sense of logicality, the tiny creatures either need to be highly magical or so mobile/agile that they can't be swatted away in a single hit. I DM'd a one-shot where the entire party lived in a land where Gargans (the equivalent of 'colossal' sized men) ruled. A lot of the gamisms that have developed over the years I completely discarded and just approached it more as a creative and logical exercise rather than trying to apply bonuses and penalties to the tiny (in relation) characters.</blockquote>
