Dwarves and Critical Misses

Post by Amphibius »

Does anyone know if there's an undocumented effect of size with respect to combat (melee in particular)? I find that when playing a dwarf, I usually get more critical misses than when playing, say, a half-orc (same stat configuration with points in melee and dodge, etc.)... I just dunno if I'm just unlucky with dwarves or if this is really a limitation for small races... anyone else have this problem?

First time I've heard of this, @Amphibius. I've never noticed an difference in respect to critical misses. But hell, it's surprised me that a half-orc could crawl through the same window as a dwarf, too.

Maybe they wreck some part of that window to fit-in.
