Halflings and Daggers

Post by Tarven » Fri Sep 14, 2012 8:07 pm

When I made a halfling wizard, with 8 str, I received a size medium dagger (instead of small?). In addition, my Hit Bonus was -2 (even with combat -ranged set).

-1 would be justified with having 8 str, however, size small creatures are supposed to receive a +1 size bonus to hit (tiny creatures receiving +2, and large/huge receiving -1/-2 respectively). I'm not sure where the additional -1 comes from, unless it's something to do with the size difference? Though a medium dagger should count as a small short sword, theoretically.

Anyway, either a small dagger, or some kind of fix on the - to hit would be nice. It's tough for small size wizards to hit, as it is.

The chargen file will soon give halflings only small-sized weapons (pending a copyover to the game port).

Same for all three types of gnome.
