[QUOTE="Storm Raven, post: 3766568, member: 307"] So, the insoluble problem you claimed is actually dealt with in the PHB. I'm not finding your argument persuasive. Yes, and? This is a problem why? Just because it is not on the weapon lists does not mean it does not exist. 3.0 had rules for that sort of thing if you wanted to use them. They are even in the 3.0 SRD. Arguing that there is something wrong with an easy to use system that covers 99.9% of cases likely to come up in actual play based upon a couple of corner cases just exposes the weakness of your position. To "fix" this seldom occuring problem, the 3.5 system bloats and needlessly complicates the system for the majority of cases - making things more difficult for characters of the actual PC races for minimal gains at the margins. I fail to see how this is an improvement. Something [i]was[/i] invented that was similar - the smallsword, which actually fills in a gap for medium size characters too. I think you probably meant to say "3.5e rules" there, since that would make your statement true. [/QUOTE]
