Do Halflings Do Less Damage?

[Vaarsuvius]

In pnp if I remember halfling sized weapons do a die size smaller damage.

Example longsword d8 VS halfling longsword d6

So if I finally make my greatcrossbow ranged fighter will going halfling be a mistake?

[geoffhanna]

Nope. Half the size, all the damage, twice the fun!

Thanks for the fast reply sir.

In PnP, you are correct; Small size weapon damage. In DDO, they use the same bigboy weapons as us "talls" and even get the same movement rate! They do still get the -2 base STR which equals -1 damage from melee builds. But, you don't have to worry about that with your crossbows.

also with that -2 str also comes +1 to hit and ac, which can help that gxbow user

Just dont try to carry too many gxbows you'll learn what burden means very quickly.

Funny, in DDO they usually do more damage!

Halfling Guile can give you up to +6 sneak attack damage. And I can confirm that you don't need a rogue to take it.

my pure halfling brb gets sneak attack damage......not much, but it means I do more damage that a similar Brb of another race. (let's not talk about Dwarfs.....ok?)
