Should you change the stats of someone who wishes to play a midget human so halfling or dwarf or at all. someone brought this up to me and i had no idea how to respond. he said that it was to be a human but 3'10"

I would say no, but they possibly might take a reduction in their base movement. Just my 2 coppers...

what about +1 to ac due to size? should that factor in?


If someone wants to play a small human, your best bet is probably to have them play a halfling. Failing that, you would likely want to apply a -2 penalty to strength, +2 bonus to dexterity, all the modifiers that come with being small (+1 to Attack Rolls and AC, +4 to Hide, -4 to Grapple and a variety of other checks, and reduced damage dice with weapons) and possibly reduce their land speed by ten feet.

It's basically a halfling anyway, at that point, but you get the extra skill points and bonus feat (and undetermined favored class) rather than the halfling's rather nice, if less versatile, racial ability suite.

Or if you don't want to hassle with it, you can either ask him to play a human who's just barely over the threshold for a medium creature, or rule that (like a dwarf) he's build solidly enough to be treated as medium despite his stature.


if you make a mnk/sor does the improved unarmed att increase your spell touch. if you touch while stiking do you do stiking damage on top of the spell effect?


I believe that the Complete Arcane covered this, and the long and the short of it is that you can make an unarmed strike to deliver a touch attack, dealing damage as appropriate for your unarmed strike and the spell. However, this is resolved as a standard melee attack, rather than a melee touch attack.


well its been a bit since ive gone over the rules. and no one catches everything
