For funsies, I'm playing around with making a class of weaponry for small creatures - particularly goblins and such. In that spirit I made a longsword homebrew that has the light and finesse properties attached to it, such that a goblin with proficiency in longswords could wield it with maximum benefit.
But, because that's kinda cheeky – basically I just suped up a shortsword – I figure a good balance might be to reduce the damage of the longsword. It's lighter, but less hard hitting as a consequence. I'd like to make that a -1 to damage, but am not sure how to add that to the item in the homebrew creator.
Alternatively I could just go with a shortsword I suppose, but I'm noodling on like a professional goblin mercenary/fighter with formal training as a background so figure that dude probably would have upgraded given a chance.
There is no functional way to do that, I would just use a shortsword and give it the versatile property since that’s how it would likely function for anyone else who picks it up.
