The PHB states that a creature can squeeze through a space (at half speed) big enough for a creature one size smaller than it. The trouble is that a Small creature takes up the same space as a Medium creature, which is presumably to make working with a grid easier when you have a mixed party of Humans, Elves, Halflings, Gnomes, etc. but the end result is that the only PCs which can fit through a gap smaller than 5` wide are the Halflings and Gnomes.I'd consider this a deliberate feature which allowed the sneaky Halflings to get to places a larger race can't, but a real world human can fairly easily fit down a 2` or even 1` corridor if they have to. I usually support abstract ideas over realism if they enhance the gameplay, but this just seems to push it a bit too far for me.
Anyone out there got thought, a fix, or will you just be ignoring it and ruling if a PC can fit somewhere case-by-case?
(For those with the PHB, it's on p.192 for reference.)
