[QUOTE="JDJblatherings, post: 3766527, member: 52044"] gee the 3'10' guy can't use a two handed sword ....i wonder why? Could it be becasue he is too small ? I utterly and absolutely reject the notion a small melee fighter was useless in 3.0, they worked fine for years in my game. there is more to life then doign 1-10 points of damage instead of 1-8 pts of damage. The small guy +1 to hit and +1 AC evens things out nicely. (both fighters are assumed to have a STR 15 to get a +2 to hit and qualify for some feats later in life) Halfling fighter w/longsword in two hands is averaging 7.5 pts a hit (4.5+3 for weapon in two hands). Human fighter with bastard sword is averageing 7.5 pts per hit (5.5+2). factor in +1 to hit for small size and the halfling is doing 10% more damage over the course of a combat.
