CB not allowing me to equip weapons

Nov 18, 2010 7:12:16 Maybe I am doing something wrong, but the CB is not allowing me to equip (certain) weapons for my character. I can equip armor just fine. If I choose "Add Gear For Me" the CB will allow me to equip any weapons it selected for me. But when I try to purchase a weapon myself, anything from a mundane Longspear to a Magic +3 Gouge, it won't let me equip it.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this function not working?

Nov 18, 2010 7:48:33 Yes, I am playing a small race. I didn't think there were size requirements anymore for weapons. Is there a smaller version of the Gouge I can get for my Kobold so that he can wield it? Even if it does less damage?

Nov 18, 2010 8:11:41 There are size restrictions on weapons small characters can't use any two-handed weapons, and they can only use versatile weapons two-handed (in fact with the current builder they are the only people that can use versatile weapons two-handed), one-handed weapons they can use as normal.

The rule is on the page about Halflings in the PHB. On the plus side you've found a feature of the new character builder that actually works!

Nov 18, 2010 9:42:46 Just a thought - don't you think it would be a good idea that when an action is restricted by the rules, that it might be a good idea to give the user a message as to why an action was denied? So they don't just sit there clicking wondering why the action is not going through?

(Don't we all love paying for the privilege to beta test software?)
