(3.5) Class/feat/something that gives bonuses for being smaller?
So I was talking to my dm the other day and he mentioned he thought he had read of a class(prestige maybe) that gave the user bonuses to anything he fought that was bigger than him. I'm not familiar with anything that does that though--maybe it's a feat? A racial thing? An item? I've no idea.
Any ideas?

There's a feat called Confound the Big Folk that gives you bonuses for fighting, I think, from inside an enemy's square, and Giantfelling Gloves (possibly Giantslaying Gauntlets) in MIC that give +xd6 damage when you attack a bigger creature than you, 3 times/day.

I think the PrC you're thinking about is the halfling giant-slayer (or something like that; maybe it was gnome) from RoTW (RoS if it were the gnome); I don't remember it being all that powerful though.

optimization is like salt. a pinch here and there can't hurt, but too much will spoil everything.
I have salty tastes.

Thanks for the quick replies--you all are a veritable encyclopedia of dnd info
I found the feat and the item. I am still having trouble finding this prestige class though.
Edit: Nevermind. Gnome Giant-Slayer: found it in complete warrior. And you were right. That prestige class is pretty weak.Last edited by Protecar; 2010-04-26 at 08:32 PM.

The Blade Bravo, in Races of Stone, is what you are looking for I think.
Google "I may be tiny, but you're dead". It's a build that stacks all the things for fighting stuff bigger than you to produce, essentially, Reepicheep, except not a mouse. A tiny thing which stabs you up horribly, and is impossible to hit.Last edited by Heliomance; 2010-04-26 at 08:33 PM.

As far as Classes go, I believe Warblade and Swordsage from ToB (and In tandem for Feats: Martial Study / Martial Stance) have access to:
Giant Killing Stance: +2 Attack/Damage rolls and +4AC vs. Larger Foes.
Soaring Raptor Strike: +4 Attack and +6d6 Damage vs. Larger foe [requires jump check]
Wolf Climbs the Mountain: Full-Round - Enter targets square without AoO, deal +5d6 on your attack, remain in his square and gain concealment. If he moves he provokes an AoO.
That is all I can think of off the top of my head. There may be more, I also be

Eldariel's link's going to have most of what you want.
Also, ToB came out after the bulk of that thread, iirc. There are a few stances and maneuvers in there that reward small characters for size differences (eg. Counter Charge, Giant Killing Style, Stonefoot Stance).
