Making everything dagger shaped so you can hold it in HTH is cheap. Screw anyone who's eager to abuse basic rules like that.

I would also not allow aimed shots.

HTH is simple and brutal. It ain't full of finesse.
I might also say no occult blasts in HTH. If they're a spell, then there should be a penalty for casting in HTH (but ITL RAW suggests that no spell casting is possible -- see the list of options). If they're an attack, then they're disallowed because the only kinds of attacks allowed involve fists and knives (used as such). Free action or not, they have to be understood as one of the options.

(The staff is described as an occult weapon, so looks like an attack and not a spell to me, but I'm not firm on that.)
