Great rant, and I agree with most of the interpretations, but I think it can
be a bit picky...

Uh, you don't have to be HTH to strike bare-handed, but it's not the best
choice unless you have a bit of UC.

We went over this last time. You can't engage someone with your side hex.

The fur is a fashion statement, not armor.

And not have to take an action to drop/change weapon? Why not hit'em with
the sack?

-4 for not having the correct weapon skill...

Ever heard of common ingredients? Or, what do you think is in a Wizard's

Rats and stuff have tails and can't attack with them...
