![]() As for the tiny greatsword, tiny weapons are always from the perspective of regular Small and Medium creatures. Obviously a tiny weapon deals less damage than a regular weapon. Obviously a tiny-sized shield would still proportionally give them +2 AC. Obviously they can have tiny-sized backpacks with less capacity. That's still to do, but most of it is common sense. I haven't noted any rules down for tiny equipment and armor. ![]() If everything else they carry scales to suit them, why do their weapons suddenly become garbage? Why would they even carry such burdensom trash in the first place? I should note that there are tiny people in the MM who have normal weapons which they use just fine- they just deal significantly less damage. That explorer's pack fits on their back just fine, they can't use their tinder box as a boat, and their sleeping bag is not a 10-man tent. And they have no problem carrying that shield in their off-hand. You may argue that such disproportionate objects should be relatively awkward for a tiny person, and I'd agree- except that their chain mail still somehow fits them just fine. What about tiny versions of standard weapons? What if a tiny smith made a proportionately scaled great sword? OK, silly hypothetical aside, my main problem with these rules is that they basically make any weapons given by your class useless. The racial traits of a specific Tiny race might also grant related benefits. They can be carried easily by their Medium allies. Their penalties are related to weapon attacks, so they still make fine spellcasters. They can slip through small gaps, so they make good thieves and spies. I'm not going to give them advantage on stealth rolls when they already benefit from being able to hide behind a larger variety of things. If you don't consider the benefits presented here as useful, then don't play a tiny creature. Something, anything, just give me a reason to play a tiny creature. Maybe tiny creatures could gain advantage on stealth rolls. Why would I want to play a tiny creature? Very few benefits.
