Yeah, I know "fantasy game" but still.Our house-rule is Small Creatures are considered to have a STR score 4 points lower when it comes to determining lifting,dragging values, etc.Anyway, I think when it comes to grappling one-size category difference should impose advantage/disadvantage. Skill can make up a lot for that, and it should only be imposed on "direct contests". By that I mean STR vs. STR, not STR vs DEX. You could actually have it go the other direction for STR vs. DEX, so a human trying to grapple a halfling (who uses DEX) might have disadvantage on the attempt. Any parent trying to catch a young child running around can probably attest to that. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
