[QUOTE="SylverFlame, post: 497168, member: 8423"] Losing one of each level for each size under medium is pretty harsh. That means that gnomes and halflings (a benefit to any party) have only a meager six wound levels until their toasty. How about just hacking off two levels total for each size below medium, and adding only two levels for each size above medium. A little more balanced when you look at things. The only thing that crops up is the damage (as you said). I tried this with 2e and had to basically redo all the weapon damage. Not bad if you relegate properly. That is, a sword is a sword, a knife is a knife, etc. Then you balance it by just giving weapons abilities like reach or trip bonuses. With the diversity of mundane bonuses for 3e it would work great. Oh yeah, you can also allow a soak check. Each armour type gives a different amount and the character can make one check for each +1 in constitution and dexterity (dodging and stiff-upper lip you could say).
