In the event that you continue Mana Based System at some point, I should point out that the best melee weapons for one of inferior physical strength are polearms or polearm-lites AKA two-handers (leverage, 2 arms' strength, etc.). Thus no need to make Derf any smaller when a backup dagger is present. Rapiers weigh the same as an arming sword and are AWFUL for a small woman.
