Sufficient force

A hit from a hand-held weapon counts when the weapon's striking surface hits with sufficient force. Clarification: taps, grazing, and glancing shots do not count as sufficient force. Sufficient force varies depending on the size and build of the person you are fighting. Example: If a two hundred pound 5 foot 8 fighter is fighting a 90 pound 4 foot 11 fairy, the larger fighter probably does not have to hit hard for said fairy to take hits. Experience and weapon-set should also be taken into consideration, this changes on each encounter.
