Alright, so our goal, as you know, is to make this as easy as possible so
we'll just make a list of all the possible 4th edition Races and classes,
and our own little blurb of information for you. Let's get started!
PHB = Players Handbook; EPG = Eberron
Player's Guide; FRPG =Forgotten Realms Player's Guide;
DSCS = Dark Suns Campaign Setting. N = Normal
Vision; DV = Darkvision; LL = Low-light
Vision.
Being Small
Small characters follow most of the same rules as Medium (which if it
doesn't say otherwise, then it's a medium race). 1. You can't use two-handed
weapons. 2. When you use a versatile weapon, you must use it two-handed, but
you don't deal additional damage for doing so.
