Small Creature

DM's discretion: You may take this combined flaw/feat for free at level 1, if you meet its pre-requisites.
This feat is not limited to only small races; discuss with your DM if it's okay for you to create an especially small version of a traditionally medium race.

Small creatures have a different set of challenges when compared to medium or larger creatures.
Your creature size is considered as small. As a small character you;

• Have a maximum height of 3 and a half feet.
• Have a maximum base walking speed of 25 feet.
• Have a maximum of 16 on initial Strength scores and a maximum of 18 after character creation.
• Gain a +1 bonus to AC, for being a smaller target.
• Have full cover behind obstacles that would only provide 3/4 cover to Medium creatures.
• Can gain half cover behind obstacles that would not usually provide cover to medium creatures.
• Can fit through smaller gaps and can traverse smaller spaces.

At the DM's discretion, you may need custom made non-magical items to fit your size, as non-magical items made for medium or larger creatures are too big for you.

• You may not be able to wear or wield non-magical items found in the world, as they are too big for your size.
  • Magical items will magically resize to fit their wielder, so this only applies to non-magical items.
  • You may need to get merchants to custom-make their non-magical items to suit your size, or you may need to modify the item it yourself.
  • Examples include, but are not limited to:
    • A human's longsword may be too unwieldy for a halfling.
    • A gnome may not be able to wear a robe sewn for a 7ft tall goliath.
    • An orc's shield may be too big and heavy for a goblin to wield
