Slight Build

You are one of the smallest members of your race.

Prerequisites
You must be 1st level to take this feat.

Benefit
When it is of benefit to you, you count as being one size smaller than you actually are. For example, when determining CMB/CMD you take the most advantageous size modifiers. You may wield weapons sized either your size or one size category smaller without penalty. You may use your smaller size when determining what spaces you can fit into, and for equipment costs (note using this on weapons make them one size category smaller, and thus reduces their damage). However, you do not take any reach penalties for the reduced size, nor does your carrying capacity take any reduction.

Normal
Wielding a weapon sized for a creature smaller than you imposes a –2 penalty on attack rolls.

Special
If you are a race which already possesses a similar racial ability, you actually become one size category smaller than your race. You take all modifiers and abilities based on your new size. You cannot take Slight Build more than once.
