House Rules for big and small fighers

[KlausPrinceOfTheUndeads]

The following rules are not tested nor very thought about; in fact, they were made in the bath tube, so take them as a mere idea. Some help from Dungeons Fantasy:Adventurers was used.

- There is no more a discount to purchase Strength or Hit Points for positive SM characters.
- Big Fighters Only: A big fighter’s weapons have boosted damage. For weapons with a damage penalty (ie. a swung large knife) the bonus equals half the penalty, rounded up, per +1 to SM; weapons with a damage bonus (ie. a broadsword) have it increased by half, rounding down (minimum +1), per +1 to the intended wielder’s Size Modifier. Weapons with no bonus or penalty get a +1 at SM +1, then follow the aforementioned rules. Therefore, a “SM +1” thrusting greatsword deals thr+4 imp or sw+4 cut, while a “SM +1” large knife deals thr+1 imp or sw cut. A "SM+2" greatsword would deal thr+6 or sw+6.
- Big Fighters Only: A big fighter’s weapons weight more. Increase weight and minimum ST by 1.5 per +1 to SM; that is, a “SM +1” greatsword weights 10.5 lbs and requires a minimum ST of 18!
- Small Fighters Only: A small fighter’s weapons have reduced damage. For weapons with a damage bonus, the bonus is halved per -1 to SM, rounding up (minimum -1); weapons with a damage penalty have it increased by half, rounded down, per -1 to SM. Weapons with no bonus or penalty get a-1 at SM -1, then follow the aforementioned rules. Therefore, a “SM -1” thrusting greatsword deals thr+2 imp or sw+2 cut, while a “SM -1” large knife deals thr-1 imp or sw-2 cut. A "SM -2" greatsword would deal thr+1 or sw+1.
- Small Fighters Only: A small fighter’s weapons weight less. Reduce weight and minimum ST by 0.25 per -1 to SM: that is, a “SM -1” greatsword weights 5.25 lbs and requires a minimum ST of 9.
- Natural weapons follow the same rules of crafter weapons. So, a SM +1 character deals thr+1 crush with a kick and thr crush with a punch, while a SM -1 character deals thr-1 crush and thr-2 crush respectively.
