Should Big Larpers have an advantage?

[LurkAway]

We had a LARP last week. My friend Hardy, who is stout and strong, played a gnome. His friend, Laurel, who is tall and thin, played a mountain giant. So of course, they get into a RL squabble during the game, but they're fighting in-character, right? So Laurel cries that Hardy should be pulling his punches, because he's just a small weak gnome. But Hardy counters that Laurel should be sucking up the punches because he's a freakin mountain giant.

My question is: Who is correct, and why?
