- Type of Feat: Race
- Prerequisite: Gnome or Halfling.
- Specifics: Gnomes and halflings are small creatures. As such, they gain bonuses to their attack rolls, armor class and stealth checks when dealing with larger creatures.
Note: Because they are so small, they cannot use the following large weapons: dire mace, two-bladed sword, double axe, greataxe, greatsword, halberd, heavy flail, maul, longbow, quarterstaff, scythe, spear, and trident. Nor can they ever make use of a tower shield.
- Use: Automatic.
Notes[]
The only weapons which are one category smaller than the standard weapon for characters of small stature and therefore have a reduced attack penalty when wield by them in the off-hand are those of the 'tiny' size category; this includes the dagger and the kukri. Likewise, characters of small stature can only dual wield weapons of the 'small' size category or lower.
Characters of small stature will also not gain sneak attack bonuses when using the rapier (which would otherwise qualify for the sneak attack bonus for characters of larger size categories) as it does not effectively count as a 'light' weapon for them since it can only be wield by them as a 2-handed weapon.
