Seems to me that anyone that can hold a blade almost as long as he/she is... In this case a 6 inch Pixie with a 6 inch blade does a helluva lot more damage with it than it's fists. Worried about breakage? Faerie quality and Orichalum.

The SM penalty to weapon damage is the part I find excessive, If pixies are exceptionally strong for their size why are they "weaker" when wielding a weapon?

Even with a staff (Made from orichalum?) the part of the pixie being so strong that it'll break the weapon makes little sense. I can swing a branch and break it on your head but I might still inflict more damage than if I'd just punched you.

Thank you all for your input, I think this is a dilemma only solved with errata or a decision from SJGames, until then one can make his own house rules or use the Gulliver rules..
