I recently played a halfing chavalier, but I wanted to play a tiny character, so I made him the victim of a wizards error, where he was Permanently effeced by reduce person, so as a normal halfing, he had a pet rat, but this was also effected by the spell, except enlarged him to a dire rat, my character, as a joke had previously equipped him with armor, so my charcter retraied the rat as his mount, and now is a tiny halfing, who rides a dire rat, wielding a Greataxe, thoughts?
Don't you have to move into an enemies square as a tiny character, since you have a reach of 0? If you had a reach weapon I think you'd at least get the normal 5ft range.
Also the massive strength penalty won't really help you.
So the idea is fun, but are you sure you don't want to make him an archer or anything dex and not str based?

I'm not sure right now. How do weapons with reach work for tiny characters?

They have a tiny bit more reach!

Using pioint by I made my STR 20, ending upba 16 after the -4, I made my DEX 6, ending up 10 after the plus 4, then used the rest of the points to bring my
CON and INT to 12, and yes, I did have to go into enemy squares to attack, but getting a plus to to AC for being tiny and wearing banded mail brought it up to 19, so i was rarely hit
The standard point buy only goes from 7 to 18 before racial modifers.
Tiny is pretty awesome for spellcasters. I say this after making a PsiWarrior (turned thrallherd) Phanaton for an Eberron (and 3.5) game, who was permanently reduced - combat required multiple turns of applying powers to give it tiny fangs and makes them viscously poisonous and then tumbling in for a nasty bite while the thrall acted as nice distracting melee.
The flavour was that the phanaton would seem to be the animal companion of the ranger-ish melee fighter.
Unfortunately I never got to play it to see if it worked.
For a similar character experience, I had a tiny halfling summoner. His Eidolon was a huge turtle on top of which he had a tiny mansion, where he lived.
At times he would insist on party-meetings to be held at his place, casting reduce person on them, and squeezing them into his living room.
