It occured to me that by the rules of RQ, size is an indication of how heavy
one is. I am not sure being heavier makes one strike faster than a
lighter person, so I assume that they are intending to simulate reach
here. What I thought of doing is making characters roll 1D6/10 to be
the number of meters that a person is larger than 1.6 meters. this will
generate a person from between 1.7 and 2.2 meters high or 5.1 feet and
6.6 feet. I would then take 1/3 of the amount of meters and find their
strike rank on the weapon length chart. As can be inferred the system
does not allow for a lot of "reach" advantage in swordfighting. but I
think this makes more sense than a fat person can reach quicker.
Any Thoughts??
