We've been playing our "Good Campaign" for a while now and my Elf Rogue has finally died after being cleaved with a two handed sword by a construct :p
Seeing as i'm now re-rolling a character I figured I wanted something "different" without resorting to going into the monster manual or anything like that.
So I thought, "how about i be a midget? not a halfling gnome or dwarf...just a human midget." and the more i think about it the more awesome it sounds.
I've looked up the list of traits here http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/DnD_Traits and there is in fact a midget template.
I would get all bonuses of being a human (extra feat +skills etc) plus all bonuses and penalties of being small (-2 STR, extra hide, extra AC bonus etc).
He's going to be a fighter with a two handed hammer (we worked it out as a two handed axe that does blunt damage and is slightly heavier).
Anyway, I was just wondering if this character will be worth playing or may be underpowered and I should just go for halfling or gnome or dwarf of the same class.
Ability scores, after penalties are applied are:
STR 16
DEX 17
CON 16
INT 11
WIS 12
CHA 14
P.S. That whole issue with the weretiger PC has been sorted out, I've discarded that idea and Instead am going for a Kobold bard that's going to be the comic-relief of the party :P
