That will make her a little bit harder to get into "right position for shooting". I have seen this happen many times for various small shooters. Because of cover rules, positioning is more important for shooters than for usual spell casters. In my experience, combination of slow speed and the lack of low-light/dark vision often hurts a halfling shooter (read as wasting a round to reach a viable position to shoot). Which can never be compensated by +2 bonus for shooting (or only +1, as human can have extra weapon focus/point blank shot).Also, there are times when short halflings can't see the other side of, say, a 3-4 foot tall cover (like those on castle walls). Most buildings are built medium-sized character in mind.And, there always be a moment when being medium or small means life and death. My play group have lost a halfling rogue in the middle of fire-top mountain. Because of a large worm which can swallow small characters but not medium characters. Being small is a hard way. Sigh.</blockquote>
