I have been using a deep gnome thief who uses a rapier. I have now found out, that, while using a rapier, it cannot use the other hand for a dagger or other weapon. Given that the rapier is supposed to be a 1-handed weapon, this sounds like a serious error. Please fix this in the templeplus new patch. Thanks!
Is it a small sized rapier? I believe Gnomes and Halflings need both hands to use weapons that are one-handed for human size. There are several shops where you can purchase small size weapons (and armor).
Actually, 3.5E is very specific about weapon size, wielding and damage. There are nine different weapon sizes. From smallest to largest they are: 1. Fine 2. Diminutive 3. Tiny 4. Small 5. Medium 6. Large 7. Huge 8. Gargantuan 9. Colossal Also, damage scales with size.
