[QUOTE="Pauln6, post: 9221236, member: 6777422"] I think this sums up the arguments perfectly. "I want MY version to be the core. YOUR version can be the sidebar." My version is currently the core and so the rules would only require one optional sidebar covering all small characters to implement what you want. Your version requires specific amendments to the race descriptions and weapon descriptions. It's not impossible, but it's a lot more effort. I suppose an alternative with the mix and match options would be a purchasable trait to overcome weapon size limitations but some people might view that as a penalty or unfair tax that prevents them from some other benefit. FYI I have home-brewed Gauntlets of Ogre Power (and Girdles) to be +2 (or +4) strength capped at the current ability scores in the description. But in addition, I treat gauntlet wearers as large (or huge for the girdles) for the purposes of pushing, tripping, or carrying etc. Within logical limits, this would allow small characters to wield bigger weapons. I really don't like the items that give you a set ability score so I took inspiration from Mutants and Masterminds about how to make characters feel strong without breaking bounded accuracy.
