A human using a club is doing roughly the same thing they would do with a quarter staff (pokes, bashes, etc). They don't have the option of a second attack, but do the same damage.If the weapon is the same size, width, strength, material, etc. and both races are roughly the same strength on average (a difference of -1 to hiut and damage), then why is the stick doing less damage between races? It is not constructed any differently, and the size of the striking surface has not changed overall (the outer 4 inches, unless they thrust)...Also, given that a halfling wizard will not be using his quarter staff to gain an extar attack, he will most likely be using it in a single two handed weapon attack. Why is a halfling only gaining 1d4 damage with such an attack, when a human with the exact same weapon gains a 1d6 when using just one hand?I'm not trying to be snarky, but I honestly don't see the difference.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
