Feb 16, 2009 16:44:54 Well I figure that since I have been unsuccessful in actually being able to report a bug for the character builder, I would post a topic here and see if it will work. I have read the list of known issues, but the one that is messing with me is the following:

Small characters are not able to equip short bows, even though they are listed as small in the PHB. I have tried this out on my halfling, a kobold, and a gnome. The blurb on the side even says the weapon is Small so these short races are supposed to be able to weild and use them just like a medium creature.

Thank you.

That would be nice... if small weapons existed. Which they do not.
