Re: House Rules for big and small fighers
 

Here's another paragraph I made today:

Excessive Weapons

It is hard to wield a weapon sized for someone much bigger or smaller than you: balance is different, the hilt is too short or too large, extension is ineffective, etx. All together, this factors impose a (cumulative) -2 to skill for each point of SM a weapon differs from his wielder's: therefore, a giant (SM +2) and a human (SM 0) would have -4 to use each other's weapons. A specific Exotic Weapon Mastery perk (see Martial Arts p.50) eliminates the penalty for both a given weapon and a difference of one point of SM; in a heavily cinematic weapons it is possible to buy more than one level of the perk, allowing human characters to wield monstrous weapons (yes Black Warrior, I'm thinking of you). A notorious example is Exotic Weapon Mastery (Oversized Sword).

Bump for another adding, made during another bath. :-P

The Large, the Short and the Manipulators

A large fighter with the No Fine Manipulators or No Manipulators disadvantage loses most of his bonus for size, while a small fighter isn't that crippled. Therefore, the values of both disadvantage are modified by +-5 per point of positive or negative SM of a character: the trait's value is increased (that is, it grows in the positive direction) for people with negative SM, it is reduced (that is, it goes deep into the negatives) for those with positive SM. Therefore, a SM +1 monster gets [-35] for No Fine Manipulators and [-55] for No Manipulators, while a SM -1 creature gets [-25] and [-45] respectively.

I'm unsure if I should modify the cost of One Harm and One Hand accordingly: after all, they don't modify Strength's price by the RAW...
