Zilargo Hooked Hammer Superior Melee Weapon, Two-handed Weapon Prof. +3 Damage 1d8 Price 20 gp Weight 6 lb Group Pick, Hammer Properties Double Weapon, High Crit, Small Shadow Marches Double Axe Superior Melee Weapon, Two-handed Weapon Prof. +3 Damage 1d10 Price 30 gp Weight 15 lb Group Axe Properties Double Weapon Taleneta Sharrash Superior Melee Weapon, Two-handed Weapon Prof. +3 Damage 2d4 Price 35 gp Weight 10 lb Group Heavy Blade, Polearm Properties High Crit, Reach, Small Taleneta Boomerang Military Ranged Weapon, One-handed Weapon Prof. +2 Damage 1d4 Range 10/20 Price 15 gp Weight 1 lb Group Mace Properties Light Thrown, Returning Talenta Tangat Superior Melee Weapon, Two-handed Weapon Prof. +3 Damage 1d8 Price 30 gp Weight 8 lb Group Heavy Blade Properties High Crit, Small Valenar Double Scimitar Superior Melee Weapon, Two-handed Weapon Prof. +3 Damage 2d4 Price 30 gp Weight 15 lb Group Heavy Blade (scimitar) Properties High Crit, Double Weapon Xen'drik Boomerang Military Ranged Weapon, One-handed Weapon Prof. +2 Damage 1d6 Range 6/12 Price 15 gp Weight 1 lb Group Light Blade Properties Light Thrown, Returning New Properties Returning: Returning thrown weapons return to its wielder’s hand after a ranged attack with the weapon is resolved. Catching a returning thrown weapon is a free action; if you do not wish (or are unable) to catch the weapon, it falls at your feet in your space. Double weapon: A double weapon is a weapon that has two different striking ends. When holding this weapon you count as holding a main hand and an off-hand weapon for the purpose of feats and powers. If an attack with an off-hand weapon is called for, make the attack using the double weapon's normal stats.

Using heavily from existing material from the Monster Manual, add the following changes. Clawfoot A human-sized predator of the Talenta Plains, this dinosaur is the halfling equivalent of the warhorse. Well trained and loyal, a clawfoot often continues fighting even after its rider’s death. Clawfoot Level 3 Brute Medium natural animal (reptile) Guard Drake, Monster Manual 90 HP +10. Defense +1. Attack vs. AC +1. Leap (move action; encounter) The Clawfoot can make an Athletics check to jump with a +10 power bonus, and the Clawfoot does not need to move to make a running jump. Skills Athletics +8 Fastieth Fastieths are the most common mounts for the halflings of the Talenta Plains, chosen and bred for speed. They are too small to carry a human, but can carry a halfling with light gear fairly easily and at a good pace. Fastieth Level 1 Brute Medium natural animal (reptile) Riding Horse, Monster Manual 159 Bite (standard; at-will) (replace Kick) Str 15 Valenar, Riding Horse The fastest horses in Khorvaire, Valenar riding horses are bred by the elves of Valenar. Valenar, Riding Horse Level 2 Brute Large natural beast Riding Horse, Monster Manual 159 HP +10. Defense +1. Attack vs. AC +1. Sprint (minor action; encounter) Until the end of the Horse's next turn, the Horse's speed increases by 4, and when it shifts, it can shift 1 additional square. Rider Empathy (while mounted by a friendly rider of 3rd level or higher, immediate reaction; at-Will) * Mount When the rider uses a healing surge, the Valenar riding horse also regains 10 hit points.

#4 Alas Jun 13, 2008 7:50:02	Very nice work-- can a small weapon have reach? The dinosaur write-ups look pretty elegant, too. For the Valenar war horse, I was toying with the idea of adding a Mount ability like "Rider Empathy: when the rider uses a healing surge, the Valenar war horse also regains X hit points." I like this sprint power, though.
#5 ultimatecalibur Jun 13, 2008 15:06:03	A few suggested changes bolded for emphasis. Valenar Double Scimitar Superior Melee Weapon, Two-handed Weapon Prof. +2 Damage 2d4 Price 30 gp Weight 8 lb Group Heavy Blade (Scimitar) Properties High Crit, double weapon Intended wielders: Fighters, Rangers. Notes: If you want Valenar to have an easier time wielding this, consider creating a Valenar Weapon Training feat that grants proficiency and +2 damage with Scimitars. Taleneta Sharrash Superior Melee Weapon, Two-handed Weapon Prof. +2 Damage 2d4 Price 35 gp Weight 10 lb Group Heavy Blade, polearm Properties Reach, small, high crit Intended wielders: small Polearm wielders Notes: Compare to the Glaive. Taleneta Boomerang Military Ranged Weapon, One-handed Weapon Prof. +2 Damage 1d6 Range 10/20 Price 15 gp Weight 1 lb Group Mace Properties Light Thrown, Returning New Properties Returning: Returning thrown weapons return to its wielder’s hand after a ranged attack with the weapon is resolved. Catching a returning thrown weapon is a free action; if you do not wish (or are unable) to catch the weapon, it falls at your feet in your space. Double weapon: A double weapon is a weapon that has two different striking ends. When holding this weapon you count as holding a main hand and an off-hand weapon for the purpose of feats and powers. If an attack with an off-hand weapon is called for, make the attack using the double weapon's normal stats.
#6 infernal_scribe_dup Jun 13, 2008 21:23:18	i like the changes ya suggested and probably use it for my campaign. the design philosophy behind some of the weapons are as followed when i made the conversion: the talenta sharrash of 3rd edition Eberron is a reach two-handed weapon in the hands of a halfling. In 4th edition, halflings can only use two-handed weapons if it has the small property.Giving it the high crit ability is more in school of the x4 crit it had in the past and i like that addition. the valenar double scimitar i gave the versatile property mainly because its a scimitar that you use two-handed, which is what the versatile property is used for. It can easily also be used one-handed. I've probably bump both of them to superior weapon categories as Ultimatecalibur suggested. I decided to give the returning property to boomerangs mainly because, it makes sense for a mundane item like that to have it. Not all halflings will have magic versions of the weapon. For the Valenar riding horse, i think the Riding empathy is a great idea! But i think riding empathy could easily be a feat if you want to make it racial specific, i.e the Valenar elves have a closer tie with their riding mounts etc. But its easy enough to add on as a mount special ability and would make the Valenar steeds even further prized by others. I also recommend that the Valenar riding horse be 75 gp for Valenar elves and 500 gp for everyone else.
